الكرب العقلي و التعويض عنه : حادثة فوكوشيما نموذجا

Abstract EN

The Fukushima accident is the largest nuclear disaster after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

What happened in Japan on March 11, 2011 is a triple disaster.

The radiation leak at the Japanese Fukushima reactor was not caused by a malfunction or error during maintenance or at any stage of operation of the reactor.

Three disasters met simultaneously with an earthquake followed by a tsunami followed by a radiation leak.

According to the IAEA report, an earthquake measuring nine on the Richter scale hit the Tokyo region on Japan's Pacific coast and caused seismic ground movements that affected the structures, systems and components of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor.

The disaster did not end here, but the earthquake was followed by a 15-metre-high tsunami that severely damaged coastal areas, killing 15, 891 people and losing 2, 579.

The high tsunami also led to the loss of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant along the coast, causing severe damage to the reactor core and resulting in a 7th-class radiation leak according to the international standard of the classify nuclear events.

The study will be limited to judicial judgements in cases of mental distress compensation, which are considered a precedent case law in the area of compensation for damages resulting from nuclear accidents.

This strongly presents the idea of expanding the concept of nuclear damage, which is no longer limited to physical injury to nuclear radiation.
