Kiyoo Mogi
Dr is a prominent seismologist. He is regarded as Japan's foremost authority on earthquake prediction〔(Nuclear crisis in Japan as scientists reveal quake threat to power plants ) The Times, published 2007-07-19, accessed 2011-03-18〕 and is a former chair of the Japanese Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP).〔(Quake shuts world's largest nuclear plant ) Nature, vol 448, 392-393, , published 2007-07-25, accessed 2011-03-18〕 Mogi is also a former Director of the University of Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute, was a professor at Nihon University〔(Japan Questions Its Costly Program to Predict Earthquakes ) New York Times, published 1998-01-13, accessed 2011-03-18〕 and is professor emeritus at Tokyo University.〔(Two grave issues concerning the expected Tokai Earthquake ) Kiyoo Mogi, ''Earth Planets Space'', Vol. 56 (No. 8), pp. li-lxvi, published 2004, accessed 2011-03-11〕〔(Japan Holds Firm to Shaky Science ) ''Science'', Vol. 264 no. 5166 pp. 1656-1658, , published 1994-06-17, accessed 2011-03-18〕 Due to the seismic activity in Japan, Mogi has also taken an interest in safety of nuclear power in Japan.
In 1969 Mogi predicted that there was a possibility of a shallow magnitude 8.0 earthquake in the Tōkai region of Japan, an area that has experienced a number of previous large earthquakes.〔 Following the passing of the Large-Scale Earthquake Countermeasure Act, in 1978 Mogi was appointed to the newly created Earthquake Assessment Committee (EAC) for the expected Tokai earthquake, charged with warning the government if the quake was imminent. He went on to chair the ECA from 1991 until he resigned the post in 1996 after failing to persuade the government of the need to take uncertainty into account when issuing warnings.〔
==Nuclear power==
Following damage at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant due to the 2007 Chūetsu offshore earthquake, Mogi called for the immediate closure of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant,〔〔 which was built close to the centre of the expected Tōkai earthquake despite his 1969 prediction. Previously, in 2004, he had stated that the issue 'is a critical problem which can bring a catastrophe to Japan through a man-made disaster'.〔
