Japan now has to take over the insurance costs from TEPCO. TEPCO {Tokyo Electric Power Company} is going or already is bankrupt. The same thing that will happen here in America one day.

You are right, when the operation goes bad, the companies will not have enough money to properly fix the 'bad'. Laws like P/A were meant as a low threshold lever to get funding from shareholders and the like, but no big private investors have been convinced to take a chance.

So it will be socializing the costs.
