His assessment that seawater might cause recriticality in the Reactor 1 was what supposedly prompted Prime Minister Kan to order TEPCO to halt the seawater injection on the night of March 12, as I reported in my post yesterday.
Now, Madarame, the head of the Nuclear Safety Commission and ex-Tokyo University Professor, says "I didn't say that."
I'm sure that's the case, Mr. Madarame. Just like the comment you say you didn't make, that the 20 millisieverts/year radiation for school children is acceptable, or your current position that you knew from the beginning that it was a core meltdown and told the government so.
Asahi Shinbun (5/21/2011):
班目春樹・原子力安全委員長は２１日夜、朝日新聞の取材に対し、政府・東電統合対策室の会見について「再臨界の危険性があるなどと私は言っていない。侮辱と思っている」と反論した。
Responding to the press conference earlier by the government/TEPCO consolidated headquarters to deal with Fukushima I Nuke Plant accident, Haruki Madarame, chief commissioner of the Nuclear Safety Agency told Asahi Shinbun on the evening of May 21 that he "didn't say there was a risk of recriticality. I feel insulted."
会見で配布された海水注入をめぐる事実関係の発表文には、「原子力安全委員長から、『再臨界の危険性がある』との意見が出された」などと記されていたが、班目委員長は「発表文は東電と官邸と保安院が作ったもの。原子力安全委員会として抗議する」と話した。
The announcement distributed at the press conference regarding the timeline of the seawater injection said "Chief commissioner of the Nuclear Safety Commission was of the opinion that "there was a danger of recriticality"." But Madarame said, "That announcement was made by TEPCO, the Prime Minister's Office, and NISA. We will protest as the Nuclear Safety Commission."
会見には安全委事務局の加藤重治内閣府審議官も同席していたが、班目委員長の発言は否定していなかった。
The Nuclear Safety Commission's secretary Shigeharu Kato was present at the press conference, but he didn't deny the remark allegedly made by Madarame.
Haruki Madarame is increasingly known in Japan among nuclear critics and opponents as "Detarame" Haruki, which rhymes nicely with his family name Madarame. "Detarame" in Japanese means "outrageous nonsense, lie, falsehood".

Detarame: "Wahh! The liars called me a liar I feel insulted"..... "I never said I felt insulted and I never said, "I never said"".
"We will protest as the Nuclear Nincompoop Comission and wear funny hats until someone apologizes"
They should make all these old farts put in their 250mSv at Fukushima for whining. Heck, to show us just how safe radiation is these guys should ask.... nay, demand to be exposed to 500 mSv or more before they are even allowed to speak about it. They should eat nuclear veggies while they mop up the mess that they "never" could have conceived happening. Their grand-kids could chip in since they are allowed a normal nuclear workers annual 20mSv dose.
You'd think "Detarame" would be a willing nuclear "jumper" who would be leading the way in his custom tailored Tungsten vest and trousers where robots feared to tread to get a handle on the situation. I mean he is the "Head" of the nuclear Safety Commission after all. Instead he'll hide behind his desk and sulk about well deserved insults.
From this blog Fukushima Blame Game I with Didn't Say That Says Madarame about Recriticality. I know that your current position that you knew from the beginning that it was a core meltdown and told the government so.
