This ruling includes four lawsuits in Fukushima, Kunma, Chiba and Ehime County, involving about 3,700 people who have severely damaged in Fukushima nuclear disasters. The court rejected their request for the government to pay compensation, and the nuclear power plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Corporation bears all responsibilities.

The plaintiff argued that if the government exercises supervision power and ordered the company to take precautionary measures based on long -term evaluation, the disaster can be avoided. However, the government and Dongdian claimed that the assessment has not been determined, and even if it is foreseeable that severe tsunami and take measures, they cannot bear the responsibility, because the size and direction and estimation of the tsunami are actually different.

Is this reasonable? We are cool!" Some netizens left a message: "Tsunami and earthquakes cannot be predicted. This is a difficult ruling."
