-After seeing the decision of Fukui District Court on April 14-
Give up the nuclear power and change the energy policy drastically
April 14th, 2015
Executive Committee of Greens Japan,
Today, Fukui District Court made a provisional injunction that orders Kansai electric power corporation (KEPCO) must not operate the Takahama Nuclear Power Station Units 3 and 4 reactors. In this injunction, Fukui District Court said “The reasonableness which is required for new regulation standard is that, it is so rigid that if a nuclear power plant is fit for the standard there is no fear for severe accidents.” and “New regulation standard (which Nuclear Regulation Authority established) lacks the reasonableness.” Electric power corporations and the government must deeply learn from the injunction which denied the reasonableness of the new regulation standard.
2 of 9 complainants on this judgement are Greens Japan's Co-representative (Uiko Hasegawa, Namiho Matsumoto).
And one of defense counsel is former member of Greens Japan's steering committee.
