TEPCO has decided not to work at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station during the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year as part of its anti-terrorism measures.
At Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, safety measures are currently under construction, centering on Units 6 and 7 for re-operation.
In this regard, TEPCO decided not to do all the work during the next Tokyo Olympics. In addition, during the Paralympic Games, in principle, work that uses fire, such as welding, is not performed.
Regarding the reason, TEPCO is trying to reduce the risk at the nuclear power plant as much as possible because the world's attention and the movement of people during the tournament will increase the possibility of terrorism in the country. The
In addition, the Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushima Daini nuclear power plants, where work and procedures for decommissioning are progressing, are said to take measures such as restricting work such as welding.
In addition, TEPCO will postpone some power transmission and distribution work to reduce the risk of power outages during the Games.
