Japan earthquake: president of Fukushima nuclear plant company admitted to hospital The president of Tokyo Electric Power Company, which operates Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, was admitted to hospital on Tuesday evening, the company has said. SERVICE/AP telegraph.co.uk 9:24AM BST 30 Mar 2011 TEPCO president Masataka Shimizu "fell sick last night and has been hospitalised," said a TEPCO spokesman, without elaborating further on his physical condition. Shimizu, 66, was suffering from high blood pressure and dizziness, public broadcaster NHK said. He had been due to give a press conference Wednesday, which would have been his first public appearance since March 13. The Japanese firm has come under fire for its handling of the world's biggest nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986. A massive earthquake and tsunami knocked out the cooling systems of the plant's six reactors - triggering explosions and fires, releasing radiation and sparking global fears of a widening disaster. Investors have dumped the stock amid signs the company is likely to face a hefty compensation bill and on speculation it may be nationalised amid slow progress in stabilising the plant.
