As a result of discussions by the lawyers of the residents who filed for provisional disposition after the Hiroshima High Court canceled the decision on provisional disposition in January last year and approved the operation of Ikata Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 in Ehime Prefecture. He decided not to dispute without appealing to the Supreme Court, saying that "there may be an adverse effect on the trials of other nuclear power plants."
Regarding Ikata Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 in Ehime Prefecture, the Hiroshima High Court issued a provisional disposition in January last year in response to a complaint from three residents of Yamaguchi Prefecture, but it filed an objection to Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. On the 18th, another presiding judge of the Hiroshima High Court canceled the decision and approved the operation, saying that "it is not likely that a natural disaster that affects the safety of the nuclear power plant will occur."
In response to this, the lawyers of the residents discussed future measures on the 20th, and as a result, "The current Supreme Court cannot hope for a good decision for the residents, and there is a risk that the trials of other nuclear power plants will be adversely affected." I decided not to appeal to the Supreme Court and not to dispute.
This completes the procedure for provisional disposition of residents of Yamaguchi Prefecture, which has continued from the Yamaguchi District Court Iwakuni Branch.
Satoru Nakamura, a lawyer of the residents' defense team, said, "This is the end of the provisional disposition, but I would like to firmly insist in the formal trial currently being held and seek an injunction against driving."
