Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato was in a similar situation to the plaintiff after the government decided not to appeal in a trial in which residents and others complained that they had suffered health damage due to the so-called "black rain" immediately after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. He expressed his intention to consider immediate measures to help the victims of the disaster.
Immediately after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, residents and others complained that they had suffered health damage due to the so-called "black rain" containing radioactive substances. On the 26th, the government decided not to appeal and will issue the A-bomb survivor health handbook to the plaintiff.
In response to this, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato said at a press conference in the morning about the relief of the victims in the same situation as the plaintiff. We will consult with the prefecture, Hiroshima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and Nagasaki City. In any case, we would like to immediately consider measures for relief. "
In addition, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato said, "The government has decided to sort out the unacceptable points of the judgment as a discourse from the position of the government. The relevant ministries and agencies are currently making final adjustments, and the adjustments have been made. I would like to announce it. "
