TEPCO seeks additional public money injection

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has asked for more
public funds from a government-backed entity to avoid negative net
worth and to compensate the victims of the nuclear crisis at the
facility.

Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, on Thursday asked the entity
set up to help compensate the victims for one trillion yen, or over 12
billion dollars, for capital reinforcement. The utility also requested
about 10 billion dollars to bolster its reserves for compensation.

Approval of the requests would put the total amount of public funds
injected into the utility at more than 40 billion dollars.

The requests are part of a business renewal plan that TEPCO is
compiling. The utility gave up on completing the plan this month, due
to key issues such as the size of the share in TEPCO that it will
allow the government to take in exchange for the funds.

TEPCO also opposes the government's plan to reshuffle the firm's
management.

TEPCO President Toshio Nishizawa expressed hope that the utility wants
to do business in the private sector while implementing management
reforms.

TEPCO faces financial difficulties amid increasing fuel costs for
thermal power plants. Without state support, the utility's liabilities
could exceed its assets during the fiscal year starting in April.

think of this in a short time japan is spending 40 billion tokeep
TEPCO solvent.

Take any US nuke plant near a major city, it melts down for any
reason..........

establish a 5 mile exclusion zone......

how many billion do you think it would cost US taxpayers?

no make that trillions.....

theres no insurance cverage for us nuke plants that melt down, all
risk is on us government..

Consumers of products, services and Electric rate payers cover all the
cost, all the time.


in the case of a meltdown the government will be stuck with the costs
in the USA.

now imagine a meltdown near a major metropolitian area.

in the case of the plant near new york at least 8 million people would
be displaced, most permanetely.

the costs would be staggering

Consumers of products, goods and services, as well as Electric rate
payers have always covered all the cost, all the time, including all
that any insurance pays for.

For the same amount of energy, thorium fueled reactors wouldn't have
cost us at most 10% to date, and the whole damn world would have been
ten thousand percent better off. *So, why not go with the
substantially cheaper and otherwise more failsafe thorium fueled
reactors?

you fail to get it, in the event of a fukashima or chernobyl scale
event the following are uninsured

all individuals since homeowners and property coverage exclude nuke
accidents......

the nuke power industry is off the hook too............

its all picked up by uncle sam

There's no law, policy or constitutional provision that's preventing
government from constructing and operating a thousand thorium fueled
reactors, and selling that clean failsafe energy to its republic at
cost.

Obviously you want only Big Energy Mafia in charge. Why is that?

At roughly 10% the ongoing cost of our vast military industrial
complex, we could have been energy independent as of more than a
decade ago, as well as exporting surplus energy and products. So, why
are you opposed to this?
