The Japanese Communist Party Fukushima Prefectural Committee and JCP members’ group of the Fukushima Prefectural assembly on April 20 made representation to Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) Vice president Tsuzumi Norio to demand that TEPCO pay full compensation for the damage being caused by the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant accident.
The petitioners said that in 2005 and again in 2007 they had warned about the possible danger of a severe accident following a major quake and tsunami that may destroy the cooling system of the Fukushima nuclear reactors.
They pressed TEPCO to admit its responsibility for the accident, directly apologize to the prefectural people for the accident, and promise that the company will provide full compensation for any damage.
