Tokyo Electric Power Co. has requested an additional 950 billion yen of state financial aid to help cover compensation payments related to the accident at its Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan, bringing the total compensation costs to some 7 trillion yen.
The request, filed with government-backed Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corp., follows the previous such application last March.

3 former TEPCO execs to face trial over N-accident after panel decision
J1j1 Press
TOKYO (J1j1 Press) — A citizenz’ panel has determined that three former executives at Tokyo Electric Power Co. should stand trial for their aleged failure to prevent the March 2011 nuclear accident.
The decision by a Tokyo prosecution inquest pannel on July 17 means that a court will determine for the first time whether there is criminal responsibility over the reactor meltdown at TEPCO’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
The panel ruled that formr TEPCO Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata, 75, and formr executive vice presidents Sakae Muto, 65, and Ichiro Takekuro, 69, should be indicted.
The three will be forcibly indicted by court-appointed lawyers acting as prosecutors for alleged professional negligence leading to death and injury because this was the panel’z second decision to indict them.
The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor Office had twice declined to indict the three former TEPCO executives.
The prosecutorz’ office, while determining that the accident was caused by the massive tsunami following the magnitude-9.0 earthquake, had concluded that it was impossible to prevent the disaster due to the difficulty of forecasting a tsunami of an unexpected scale.
In September 2013, the prosecutorz’ office declined to indict all 42 officials accused, including government officials, after a group of victims of the nuclear accident filed a complaint against TEPCO executives and others.
Not satisfied with the decision, the plaintiffs’ group asked the inquest panel to examine the responsibility of Katsumata and five others.
In July 2014, the inquest panel ruled that Katsumata, Muto and Takekuro should be indicted, but the prosecutors’ office dismissed their case again in January this year. The inquest panel has since been examining the case again.
Since 2009 when the system of such forcible indictment was introduced in Japan, eight cases have been brought to court.Speech

You’d have to eat 2½ tons of this tuna a year to have a problem, expert says
Kim Martini, PhD, an oceanographer at the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, told SafeBee the tuna are safe to eat. At current cesium levels, “you’d have to eat two and a half tons of tuna per year,” before facing any health risk, she said.

Japan's government on Saturday lifted a 4 1/2-year-old evacuation order for the northeastern town of Naraha that had sent all of the town's 7,400 residents away following the disaster at the nearby Fukushima nuclear plant.
Naraha became the first to get the order lifted among seven municipalities forced to empty entirely due to radiation contamination following the massive earthquake and tsunami that sent the plant's reactors into triple meltdowns in March 2011.
The central government has said radiation levels in Naraha have fallen to levels deemed safe following decontamination efforts.
According to a government survey, however, 53 percent of the evacuees from Naraha, which is 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of the nuclear plant, say they're either not ready to return home permanently or are undecided. Some say they've found jobs elsewhere over the past few years, while others cite radiation concerns.
[...]
About 100,000 people from about 10 municipalities around the wrecked plant still cannot go home. The government hopes to lift all evacuation orders except for the most contaminated areas closest to the plant by March 2017 — a plan many evacuees criticize as an attempt to showcase Fukushima's recovery ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

I never thought it would be possible but suddenly I'm a fan of humid weather.
The heavy rain, which is expected to spread north on Friday, has also caused additional leaks of radioactive water at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said rain had overwhelmed the site’s drainage pumps, sending hundreds of tonnes of contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.
