TEPCO has included unusual items such as not prioritizing economics and learning the latest knowledge to reduce risks in the `` security regulations '' that summarize procedures for maintenance and inspection of nuclear power plants. Submitted to the meeting.

TEPCO aims to restart Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station Units 6 and 7 in Niigata Prefecture, and three years ago passed the NRA's review of new regulatory standards. It was debated whether TEPCO was qualified to drive the nuclear power plant.

For this reason, the Regulatory Commission has requested that the company's thinking and attitude be spelled out in the "security regulations" that summarize the procedures for maintenance and inspection of nuclear power plants and emergency situations.

In response, TEPCO submitted a "security provision" to the Regulatory Commission on the 30th,
こ と To secure necessary funds for nuclear power plant safety measures,
こ と Don't give priority to economy, neglecting safety,
を Collecting the latest knowledge from the world to reduce risk,
7 A total of seven items were included, including the completion of the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

TEPCO says that these items will be reflected not only in the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant, but also in the "security regulations" of the Fukushima Daiichi and Daiichi nuclear power plants in Fukushima Prefecture.

It is unusual to include such items in the "security regulations" that summarize the procedures for maintenance and inspection.

The Regulatory Commission will examine the content and determine if it is appropriate.
