Japan will take control of Tokyo Electric Power Co, also known as TEPCO, the operator of a stricken nuclear plant, in the face of mounting public concerns over the crisis and a huge potential compensation bill, a local newspaper reported on Friday. TEPCO has come under fire for its handling of the emergency at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, triggered by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami that left more than 27,500 people dead or missing. Mandatory Credit Credit: Reuters/TEPCO Handout via Reuters TV By Kiyoshi Takenaka and Yoko Nishikawa TOKYO | Fri Apr 1, 2011 1:51am EDT TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's nuclear and humanitarian crisis stretched to three weeks Friday with radiation still leaking from a crippled nuclear power plant, thousands of homeless people struggling to rebuild their lives, and little hope of a quick resolution to either. As Tokyo Electric Power Co tries to regain control of its stricken nuclear plant in the face of mounting public criticism and a huge potential compensation bill, the government was reportedly moving to take control of the utility. The government said it had yet to decide on how to support the utility, which is grappling with the world's worst nuclear crisis since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and may have to deal with compensation claims topping $130 billion according to one U.S. investment bank. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano held his daily news briefing Friday having swapped his 'bosai fuku' emergency jacket for a suit for the first time since the early days of the disaster in an apparent effort to portray a return to normality, but angry Japanese see very little change. "We have changed our clothes to show that the government is stepping into the next stage toward restoration and reconstruction," said Edano. In the devastated northeast, many Japanese still see only the splintered remains of their homes and lives after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami on March 11, leaving around 28,000 people dead or missing. Radiation 4,000 times the legal limit has been detected in seawater near the plant as contaminated water used to try and cool down reactor rods leaks or spills into the ocean, and high levels of radiation outside a 20 km (12 mile) exclusion zone has put pressure on Japan to widen the no-man's land. More than 172,400 people were still living in shelters around northeast Japan. Many devastated areas looked like a rubbish-strewn junkyard, with cars lodged in the side of toppled buildings and boats still high and dry on roads. More than 70,000 have been evacuated from the exclusion ring and another 136,000 who live in a 10-km (6-mile) zone beyond that have been encouraged to leave or to stay indoors. Despite his positive message, Edano said the evacuation of people from near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi complex, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, would be a "long-term" operation. Nuclear experts say it could take years, possibly decades to make the area around the plants safe. With thousands still missing and many areas off-limits to rescuers due to the high levels of radiation, Japanese and U.S. forces will soon begin a joint search for bodies. Prime Minister Naoto Kan is under enormous pressure as he struggles to manage Japan's toughest test since World War Two. The damage bill may top $300 billion, making it the world's costliest natural disaster, and raising concerns about the world's third-biggest economy. Japanese manufacturing activity slumped to a two-year low in March and posted the sharpest monthly fall on record as the quake and tsunami hit supply chains and output. 1 2 3 Next World Japan Natural Disasters Nuclear Power Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
