On the 9th, a large-scale disaster drill was held at the TEPCO Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, where residents were evacuated under the assumption that a serious accident occurred.

This training is the first large-scale drill since Niigata Prefecture prepared a new wide-area evacuation plan in preparation for the nuclear accident in January, calling for the participation of approximately 160,000 people including residents evacuated indoors. It was.

The training is based on the assumption that there was a problem with the operating nuclear power plant due to an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 6 or higher. Of these, in Amagasaki city, 20 villagers from the nearby port A drill was conducted to evacuate the ship prepared by the Security Agency and the Self-Defense Forces.

In Mitsuke City, about 30 kilometers away from the nuclear power plant, after residents had evacuated indoors, the situation of the nuclear power plant deteriorated, so an evacuation instruction was given on the assumption that evacuation instructions were issued.

The bus on which the residents took was subjected to a screening test to make sure that no radioactive material had adhered to it in the designated park.

Residents who participated in the evacuation drill by ship said, “If there is a landslide, we cannot evacuate by car, so we will evacuate by ship or helicopter, but there is concern about what to do if a typhoon comes.”

At the Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, all seven nuclear reactors were shut down. Of these, Units 6 and 7 were considered to have passed the national regulatory standards. Unless the verification work that we are doing is finished, we cannot start the discussion about restarting, and we have no prospect of restarting.
