Protest action in front of KEPCO against the restart of Takahama nuclear plant




There was an awful Christmas present in December 24th: nullification by the Fukushima District Court of the earlier injunction order against the restart of the No 3 & 4 reactors of the Takahama nuclear power plant. The presiding judge HIGUCHI, who issued the injunction order in April 2015, was transferred to Kobe Family Court and the three new judges made reversed his decision. The government framed the restart as a top priority. There was a protest action of 100 people in front of the Kansai Electric Power Co.’s Tokyo branch office. Participants raised their voices of anger against the power company KEPCO. “Have you seen the reality in Fukushima, KEPCO CEO YAGI, Fukui Governor NISHIKAWA and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry HAYASHI? Waste from decontamination is just piled up in the fields. There is no way to dispose of it. Who’s going to take responsibility?” “If an accident similar to Fukushima occurs in Takahama, Lake Biwa will be contaminated. Japan will be all covered by nuclear waste disposal sites.”(M)

12 24日のクリスマスプレゼントは、福井地裁の「仮処分決定取り消し」というとんでもないものだった。4月に関西電力高浜原発34号機の再稼働差止決定 を出した樋口裁判長を神戸家裁に異動させ、新たに3名の判事を着任させての逆転決定である。国家権力が推進した「再稼働ありき」の仕組まれた決定だった。 これに抗議して100名弱の市民が、東京・日比谷の関電東京支社前に緊急に集まり、「高浜再稼働反対」の声を上げた。「関電八木社長、西川知事、林経産相 は福島の現実を見たのか? 除染袋が畑の上をズラリと並んでいる姿を見たのか。再稼働すればまた核のごみが出る。処理する方法はない。その責任をとる覚悟はあるのか」「福島と同じ事 故が起きれば琵琶湖が汚染される。アーサービナード氏も言っていたが、このままでは日本は世界の核廃棄物処分場にされてしまう」。次々にマイクで訴える市民たち。関電東京支社ビル前はやり場のない怒りに包まれていた。(M

No to all restarts! Fukui District Court issues temporary injunction against the restart of the Takahama Nuclear Power Plant




On April 14th, presiding judge HIGUCHI Hideaki of the Fukui District Court issued a temporary injunction against the restart of Takahama Nuclear Power Plant. Just before 2pm, the entrance to the Court was packed with reporters and supporters. Members of the plaintiff team came rushing out of the court, spreading  banners saying “The court says no to the restart!” “The law is still alive!” Supporters outside the Court welcomed the historic decision with cheers and applause. Representating the plaintiff lawyers, KAWAI Hiroyuki said, “This decision is wonderful and more elaborate than the ruling against the restart of the Ohi nuclear power plant by the same judge, because it states that the new safety standards set by the Nuclear Regulation Authority lack rationality. We can say that it says no to the restart of every nuclear power plant.” (MASAKI Toshu)


 4 14日、福井地方裁判所、樋口英明裁判長はは高浜原発運転差し止め仮処分を命令した。小雨の降り続く地裁前は、判断が示される午後2時前には、各地から 駆けつけた支援者やマスメディアの取材陣でごった返していた。定刻に申し立て団のメンバーが旗立て。「司法が再稼働を止める」「司法はやっぱり生きてい た!」。支援者から拍手と歓声が湧き起こる。弁護団共同代表の河合弘之、海渡雄一弁護士は、「先の大飯原発訴訟での判断よりさらに緻密になった素晴らしい 判決だ。規制委員会の新規制基準そのものが合理性を欠くと判断しており、単に高浜原発だけでなく、すべての原発にノーを突きつけたものということができ る」と述べた。(報告:正木斗周)
