A petition by the municipal government of Namie on behalf of citizens forced to flee their homes by the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns has brought to light the fact that evacuees receive about $980 a month in compensation for “psychological suffering” from TEPCO, the utility company responsible for the disaster. Namie officials want that figure to be tripled. Japan is an advanced commercial society, of course, just like the United States, so Americans might want to ponder what it would be like to lose all of their property and possessions for the rest of their lives for $980 a month. If all 150,000 evacuees were getting this payment, which they are not, it would come to about $150 million a year out of TEPCO’s coffers, which are actually federal government coffers now. A pittance, in other words, for a major industrial nation.
How was the $980 figure arrived at? It’s the same monthly benefit paid through automobile liability insurance to someone hospitalized as a result of a traffic accident.
Under rules announced last year, Fukushima evacuees can claim the pre-disaster market value of a home if it remains uninhabitable for at least six years due to radiation contamination, with half that amount available for those who return within three years. They can also get as much as $86,000 in claims for furniture, appliances and other personal belongings. The practical value of these rules remains to be seen.
