South Korean government officials have been targeting TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) officials, in an attempt to persuade them to move to South Korea.
Two executive engineers were approached late last year, but turned down the offer to work in a South Korean government-owned company, according to the Mainichi Shimbun. One of them claims that he was asked over dinner about the recent cuts in his salary, whether he was happy to continue working at TEPCO, and a request was made for him to join the nuclear power company in South Korea. The country currently obtains some 30% of its power from nuclear sources, with an expressed policy of expansion, and intends exporting its expertise to other countries, such as Turkey (a market where Japan is also a bidder).
