A Tokyo-based non-profit organization has created an online archive of public documents that show how the Japanese government dealt with the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.
The Information Clearing House Japan announced the website's debut at a symposium in Tokyo last Friday.
The group obtained about 60,000 pages of documents by requesting them from the industry ministry and other agencies, as well as the Fukushima prefectural government.
The papers include the minutes of meetings held immediately after the accident between government officials and representatives of the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company.
Also included are documents related to the health of residents living near the plant. Many of those papers had not been released before.
The director of the NPO, Yukiko Miki, said nuclear accidents take a long time to bring under control, so it is important to preserve the documents for future generations.
She says providing people who have different expertise and interests with easy access to information should help people demand a better response from the government.
