原発事故「全取締役に責任なし」 株主に東電が通知

東京電力の福島第1原発事故をめぐって歴代役員に損害賠償を求めて提訴するよう請求していた株主に対し、同社監査役が16日までに不提訴理由通知書を送付した。「津波対策や、発生から事態収束に向けた対応について、全ての取締役に責任は認められない」としている。

株主側代理人の河合弘之弁護士が記者会見し明らかにした。内容を検討し、歴代役員に計約5兆5千億円を会社に賠償するよう求める株主代表訴訟を今月末にも東京地裁に起こす準備を進める。

河合弁護士は「通知書には東電への批判的観点が全くなく、監査役は本来の役割を果たしていない。怒りを禁じ得ない」と話した。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
