>Japan was instantly honest about Fukushima They acknowledge it now but when it hit there were non-stop blog posts going viral about how it's impossible for Fukushima to suffer a meltdown due to the design. The Japanese government was restricting information so tightly that there was no refutation of this misinformation. Josef Oehmen's "Why I am not worried about Japan’s nuclear reactors" went viral for example: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20266-how-josef-oehmens-advice-on-fukushima-went-viral/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20266-how-josef-oehme... It was all very reminiscent of the Soviet "It's impossible for Chernobyl to meltdown". So no Japan was not instantly honest. They were not informing people of the real situation even after they knew.
