Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd. president "not aware'' of IAEA monitoring issue at Aomori reprocessing plant.

In January last year, some light bulbs went out and the lights went out in a room that is subject to monitoring operations. President Naohiro Masuda attended a Nuclear Regulation Authority meeting on the 18th and explained the cause and countermeasures. He then stated, "I greatly regret that I was not aware that there were so many monitoring points,'' and expressed his intention to personally go into the field to prevent a recurrence.
