内容記述タイプ Abstract
内容記述 The forestry industry in Fukushima is in a difficult position because
radioactive contamination was spread over large areas during the accident at the
Daiichi nuclear power plant. Forests inside the evacuation zone cannot be used
for timber production, nor can they be properly maintained. Outside the
evacuation zone, the forestry industry has been damaged by warnings about
radioactive pollution, tests that showed their products were not suitable for
consumption, and distrust among consumers about the safety of Fukushima’s
forests, all of which has led to a drop in prices.
There is no quick and easy way to repair the damage. Although the
government has pledged to implement the Polluter Pays Principle (PPP) by
declaring that the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is liable for the
financial costs of the accident, governmental regulations only require the owner
of the nuclear power plant to be responsible for certain economic costs, with the
rest to be left for future consideration. As a result, forestry concerns are not on
an equal footing with human environments or agriculture. Two and a half years
after the accident, there are still no criteria for how to evaluate damage to
standing forests, no plans to start forest decontamination, and no flexibility for
individual forest owners to decide which type of damage restoration is
appropriate for their forest.
In this article, I argue that implementation of the PPP for the radioactive
contamination of Fukushima’s forests has several major limitations. These
limitations must be overcome if just compensation is to be made to the
forest owners, workers in the forestry industry, and the residents of
Fukushima. However, as TEPCO already finds itself in a very difficult
financial position, implementing a comprehensive compensation mechanism
for forest damage may well be too much for the company to manage; the
outcome would be that pollution damage compensation is eventually paid
by the forest owners themselves or covered by taxpayers’ money. If that
occurs, the difficulty in applying the PPP in Fukushima’s case will become
an additional strong argument against the use of nuclear power.
