The crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant is expected to cost from 5.7 trillion yen (about $70 billion) to 20 trillion yen or higher over the next 10 years, a private research institute report said.
The estimate, which does not include compensation for damage to the agriculture and fishery industries by contamination, is seen as optimistic.
