SENDAI (Jiji Press)--Damages to farmers and tourism-related firms from public fears arising from the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant should be covered in compensation payments, the Miyagi and Iwate prefectural governments said Wednesday.
The two prefectural governments will submit their request to the central government and Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the crippled nuclear power plant, prefectural officials said.
The request is scheduled to be filed Friday, when Miyagi Gov. Yoshihiro Murai and Iwate Gov. Takuya Tasso are to visit TEPCO, the industry ministry and the science ministry, prefectural officials said.
