Less than half of the evacuees from the Fukushima nuclear crisis have filed for compensation from Tokyo Electric Power Co. because the application forms are too complex, a survey shows.
One year after the nuclear disaster, 57 percent of Fukushima evacuees still haven’t applied, according to the survey by the government-backed Nuclear Damage Liability Facilitation Fund. Applicants had difficulty in understanding the forms, according to the survey made public on March 8.
