TEPCO says Fukushima clean-up costs may double to Y10 tril
TOKYO — The cost of the clean-up and compensation after the Fukushima nuclear disaster may double to 10 trillion yen, the plant’s operator said Wednesday.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said decontamination of irradiated areas and compensating those whose jobs or home lives have been affected would cost more than the 5 trillion yen it estimated in April.

“There is a view that we may need the same amount (again) of additional money for the decontamination of low-level radiation areas and costs of temporary facilities for storing waste,” the company said in a statement.
