Fukushima disaster: Tepco to pay couple in landmark damages case | 19 Feb 2016 | A court in Japan has ordered the operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant to compensate a couple who fled radiation, even though they lived outside the evacuation zone. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) will pay 30m yen ($265,000; £185,00) for financial losses and poor health. It is thought to be the first time Tepco has been found liable for people outside the mandatory evacuation area.
