Chubu Electric, operators of the troubled Hamaoka nuclear plant in central Japan, have been rocked by a report exposing data tampering that downplayed earthquake risks.
Amidst this crisis, President Kingo Hayashi and Chairman Satoru Katsuno have stepped down, and the company has withdrawn applications to restart reactors at the embattled plant.
