A Japanese high court canceled a sentence that ordered the former operator of the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), to pay the damage to the company for not having been able to prevent the catastrophe of March 2011.
The decision of the upper court of Tokyo came after, in July 2022, a district court had established that the former managers should pay compensation of about 13,000 billion yen (79 billion euros). Both the former managers and the shareholders who requested compensation had appealed to the sentence.
