Regarding the June 18 article "Tepco begins work to clean coolant water": I would like to thank The Japan Times for the best website in covering the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster. Followups in this crisis are virtually blacked out in the United States; you might get a passing report on television every couple of weeks.

I am outraged by the media's downplaying of this issue and I am reminding people of it all the time. Anyway, I appreciate your efforts and God bless you. You can't keep a good people down.

The opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are the writer's own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of The Japan Times.
