Govt OK's nuclear crisis redress plan / 9 utilities may aid TEPCO's compensation
The government on Friday officially approved a framework for compensating people affected by the ongoing nuclear crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, in a scheme that would require nine other utilities to make contributions that could be used for compensation. The framework would place TEPCO under effective state control. Under the framework, TEPCO would pay compensation to people affected by the disaster at the Fukushima plant under the support of a new body to be established by the government--tentatively called the "nuclear power plant compensation institution." TEPCO would repay the envisaged institution out of its yearly profits. (Yomiuri)
Fukushima kids 'get 10 mSv of radiation a yr'
The education ministry has estimated children who attend schools in Fukushima Prefecture where radiation exceeds government limits but restrict their outdoor activities will be exposed to about 10 millisieverts of radiation a year, less than the annual limit set by the government due to the nuclear crisis. In the prefecture most affected by the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, radiation levels temporarily exceeded the limit of 3.8 microsieverts per hour at 13 schools and kindergartens. But the ministry did not say how many of these schools would see radiation levels above 10 millisieverts in the estimates released Thursday. (Yomiuri)
