The plant is responsible for 10% of Japan’s energy needs. Honda has reduced its production. Many other industries have called for cuts in production anticipating power shortages in the future. TEPCO has been criticized for under reporting the entire accident. Another radioactive leak at the plant has been reported. Independent experts are still evaluating the accident not relying completely on Tepco analysts.
