TEPCO urged to pay temporary damages
   
The Japanese government has requested that Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, quickly make temporary payments to affected residents for damages. TEPCO has agreed to make the payments.

A government task force set up to deal with compensation and other economic matters related to the nuclear accident met for the first time on Friday.

The task force decided to urge TEPCO to make the payments to residents around the plant as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the results of negotiations on legal compensation.

Residents in areas within 30 kilometers of the plant that are under instructions to evacuate or stay indoors are eligible for the payments.

One big difference. BP was virtually blackmailed by Obama before any finding of fault was done.
