Ex-Fukushima No. 1 worker sues Tepco over cancer | 01 Sept 2015 | A former worker at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant has filed a damages suit against Tokyo Electric Power Co. and others, claiming that he developed cancer due to exposure to radiation after the March 2011 nuclear disaster. His lawyers said Tuesday the suit, filed in the Sapporo District Court, is the first litigation on causal relations between cancer and work to deal with the crisis. The 57-year-old man is seeking a total of 65 million yen in damages from Tepco, contractor Taisei Corp. and its subcontractor.
