Press emphasis seems to be on compensation.

"A day after the reported discovery of meltdown holes in reactot No. 1, the government approves a framework for letting Tepco tap taxpayer money to compensate victims of the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant."
"Under the framework, a new institution will be established to facilitate Tepco's payments and place the company and other nuclear plant operators under government supervision to monitor the streamlining efforts 'for a certain period of time'."
Power utilities will be obliged to help fund the new institution and the government will issue special zero-interest bonds that can be cashed when necessary.
Livestock within 20 km of Fukushima plant must be destroyed and Tepco will have to compensate the livestock owners.
