Top Japanese nuclear regulator: Fukushima Daiichi a "house of horrors"

As reported by CNN, Japan's top nuclear regulator has compared the devastated and leaking Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to a "house of horrors" at an amusement park, after a growing list of leaks of highly radioactive water.

Tanka's description was also documented in an August 29th op-ed to the Japan Times, calling for the Japanese government to take over the catastrophe recovery operations at the Fukushima Daiichi site:

'...Crises have been arising with such frequency that NRA Chairman Shunichi Tanaka has described the plant as being like a “haunted house” in which “mishaps keep happening one after the other.”...'.
