TOKAI-MURA ACCIDENT, JAPAN THIRD PARTY LIABILITY AND COMPENSATION ASPECTS
excellent example the company were liable full stop at one point it seemed the government compensated the families of the workers who died from radiation poisoning but the government then claimed it back from the company

@Veenie lots and lots of coffee

@elainekirk IIRC Tokai didn't require any area evacuation? No clue how Japan's labor laws or workers compensation works. I assume they would operate that different that impacted public?
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 8:28:44 PM
@nancy @veenie the 11th marked the 3month point which is the point at which compensation should be paid etc etc we are now entering the 'watch our backs ' stage at which each party seeks to aportion blame ...and liability...should get interesting
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:29:12 PM
@nancy read it it cost them tens of billions, evac small but large stay in house area and crops , businesses etc it was a localised accident but it was very expensive for the company in compensation and shows why tepco are trying to find a 'getoutofjailfree' card
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:29:37 PM
207 people in the area got a radiation dose during Tokai. Ick.
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 8:33:07 PM
@nancy :) and they havent properly if at all tested the people in fukushima
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:35:46 PM
@elainekirk They started a testing program who know how long it will take to get results.
Press Release (Jun 17,2011) Submission of reports to NISA regarding results of earthquake response analysis using observed seismic data collected at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station during the Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake, etc. . so where is tepco's response
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:36:37 PM
@nancy I think we ought to try to gather numbers of people together so when stories of x number of people tested we can put it in perspective, better still if we could cover areas but that may not be availab le info
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:39:04 PM
Total numbers of people impacted would be good. Total number of employees at the plant also. It would make tracking various happenings easier. The news reports will give a number of people that had a positive testing or had something happen but you never know if these are new one or ones you already heard about. Hard to find total numbers.
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 8:42:52 PM
employees is around 4000 cos 1300 havent been tested and I worked it as a third but I will go find article to verify
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:44:04 PM
TEPCO submitted a report to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on June 13 of a study into the 3,726 workers at the Fukushima No. 1 plant who worked between March 11, when the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, until March 31.
Of those workers, radiation exposure levels for 2,367 workers who were tested were reported to the labor ministry. The results of the study for the remaining workers will be submitted by June 20.
The eight workers found to have been exposed to more than 250 millisieverts were all male TEPCO employees. Including the workers covered in the latest study, a total of about 7,800 individuals have been working at the Fukushima No. 1 plant through late May to restore operations. www.asahi.com

More details on the 2 workers that got big doses working in the control room. TEPCO blamed them, looks like not the workers at fault ex-skf.blogspot.com
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 9:35:28 PM
disgusting so tepco were confused and the workers didnt get iodine for 3 days and then only gave it to people under 40yrs old and the goj forgot? that the people needed iodine and didnt start distributing till the 14th and then only to evacs
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 9:45:15 PM
Toshiba are coming in for some flak on twitter I wonder if there is something these reports today that we have missed
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 9:49:56 PM
@elainekirk Sounds like nobody would take it to them. They had emergency food but no iodine? Nobody tried to do anything about the door either? Sounds like they were busy dealing with the control room. The more I find out it seems like there were just not enough people to do everything and so much chaos. Why they didn't have iodine on hand is just crazy
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 9:50:05 PM
@elainekirk any clues in the messages?
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 9:50:45 PM
translate.google.com it is an interview she has transcribed I cannot fathom it scroll down to the toshiba conversation
@elainekirk Sounded like claims of influence on the part of Toshiba and Haitachi
by lillymunster 6/17/2011 9:56:52 PM
I just went to chuden to see if there was more and they translate much bettter than tepco I think tepco are using translate as an excuse for witholding this isnt present problems but kinda related tepco have published theirs in Japanese pages and pages of seismic info from the 11th but no good unless you know Japanese Compilation of Data concerning Faults and Other Geological Features around the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station(Report based on Directive from the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) www.chuden.co.jp

@nancy excuse me while I just run around whooping I just love to hear of people standing up to these companies

@edano what do you mean by rectified? An old conversation I have cleaned it up

sharing the North American Plate with Japan is Iceland where today there have been many quakes in Mýrdalsjökull glacier, where the dreaded Katla lives en.vedur.is Katla is a beast of a volcano
@nancy for a country that values politeness for them to say we will come check your house and if it isnt as high as your neighbour we will tell you to stay and your neighbour will be evacuated , the fact that tomoro the wind may blow your way, the fact that you will have to walk through contaminated areas
by elainekirk 6/17/2011 11:54:28 PM
@elainekirk it appears so. It is from Yomiuri Shimbun.
they could have identified safe areas and started moving businesses and people but no they have splintered communities and frightened people and now they are going to walk through neighbourhoods with a geiger choosing
@Veenie warning shot for GE statement?by lillymunster 6/17/2011 8:12:16 PM
@veenie as much as I want to see tepco go down for this it is good to be reminded that they were aided and abetted by othersby elainekirk 6/17/2011 8:12:31 PM
@lillymunster Don't you remeber, the pointing of finger, i vehemently opposed that stementby Veenie 6/17/2011 8:13:13 PM
