People grow more and more frustrated by the manipulation of the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (a) of the nuclear crisis, which grew expands since March 11 tsunami flooded the Fukushima Dai-ichi factory, knocking on significant cooling systems. Restore will take months.
"I ask nothing more that I was right," said Ichijiro Ishikawa, 69, who dug roads and tunnels and is now living in a shelter because his house is in an area of evacuation (20 kilometers) 12 miles around the plant. "I just want my due."
He and about 20 other people who have lived and worked near the plant travel 140 220 kilometres southwest of hand - deliver a letter to the President of Tokyo Electric, known as TEPCO. They said talks with the Government on how to compensate victims will take too long to start and they want money now. Some were near tears.
They met near the headquarters of the company with four TEPCO officials bowed in apology before them. President Masataka Shimizu later apologized in a two-hour press conference and is committed to do more, saying cash payments could be refined as soon as possible and the company would do its best to get the reactors under control and stop leaks of radiation.
"I offer my apologies to spread radiation," he said. "I apologise from the bottom of my heart."
Shimizu refused to comment on the question of whether he would resign to show that he takes responsibility for the crisis. He said his job is to deal with the problems of the evacuees and energy supply concerns.
TEPCO said earlier it will provide the evacuated towns 20 million yen ($ 240,000) each in "money excuses", and analysts say mass claims it could cost several billion yen.
