The government plans to disclose, as soon as early September, the contents of interviews with Masao Yoshida, the manager of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant at the time of the March 2011 disaster.

Before his death in July 2013, Yoshida submitted a written statement to the government’s Nuclear Incident Investigation and Verification Committee, asking that the interviews not be made public. However, the government decided to disclose them because from May on, some news organizations reported part of the interviews, which were conducted by the government committee.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said at a press conference Monday that keeping the records secret would actually contradict Yoshida’s intentions, given that several newspapers had carried articles describing only part of the records.

Suga said the government plans to redact some parts of the documents that are related to the rights and financial interests of third parties, as well as national security.
