Officials of two government agencies were found to have taken inappropriate action in seven instances in an attempt to influence public opinion on nuclear energy, according to the results of an investigation released on Sept. 30.
The investigating panel found that officials of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) as well as the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy instructed electric power companies to have their employees attend symposiums and other events related to nuclear energy.

Panel members questioned 148 individuals from the NISA and the energy agency, as well as from electric power companies.
