The Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant, said Friday that it would revise its business turnaround plan to allocate an additional $10 billion for the plant’s cleanup. Tokyo Electric, also known as Tepco, is trying to contain radioactive water at the Fukushima plant, which was hit by meltdowns and hydrogen explosions after a massive earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
