> This is difficult for me to understand. Are you suggesting that if nuclear power were completely unregulated, Tepco's behavior would've been more virtuous (as I read it, totally virtuous)?

If it were unregulated by government, then yes. It's a bit misleading to say there would be absolutely nothing regulating the industry if government wasn't.

Doesn't sound misleading. What would that regulation body be? What's less susceptible to corruption than government?

Some private body with guys placed directly from the industry? Some public body with guys voted by the people (and then regulated themselves how?)
