    THREE former Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) executives stand trial this week on the only criminal charges laid in the 2011 Fukushima power plant disaster, as thousands remain unable to return to their homes near the shuttered nuclear station.

    The hearing on Friday comes more than a year after ex-Tepco chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata, 77, and former vice-presidents Sakae Muto, 66, and Ichiro Takekuro, 71, were formally charged with professional negligence resulting in death and injury.
