政府は、東京電力に公的資本を注入するのに伴い、同社の勝俣恒久会長(71)を退任させ、後任を外部から選ぶ方針を固めた。民間出身者を軸に調整しており、企業経営者への接触を始めた。ただ、電気料金の値上げや原発事故の処理など、難問が山積。人選は難航する可能性がある。

政府や電力各社でつくる原子力損害賠償支援機構は、6月の株主総会後、東電に1兆円規模で出資する方針。東電が福島第一原発の廃炉費用などの負担に耐えきれず、経営破綻(はたん)するのを避けるためだ。破綻した場合、事故の損害賠償や電力供給に支障が出るおそれがある。

機構と東電は3月、同社の将来像を示す「総合特別事業計画」をつくる。その中に機構による資本注入の方針を盛り込む一方、勝俣氏が退任を表明し、経営責任を明確にする方向だ。退任の時期は、6月の株主総会日になる見通し。

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.
