TEPCO Fax Mistransmission For training to report the occurrence of a fire at the nuclear power plant November 27 at 15:54
Last month, at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, TEPCO mistakenly sent a fax telling the occurrence of the accident to the Nuclear Regulatory Agency, which was not the destination, and was asked to confirm. It was.
According to TEPCO, on the 28th of last month, at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station, in response training for accident response due to a direct duty on duty, we accidentally sent a fax informing the occurrence of a fire to the NRA about it.
The fax did not have “training” written on it, and the Nuclear Regulatory Authority confirmed it with TEPCO and found it was training.
For another training, the fact that the regulatory agency was added to the destination of the speed dial to send the fax was because it was not communicated to the training participants.
TEPCO accidentally sent a fax saying “abnormal” to the regulatory agency or local government even though there was no abnormality in the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant due to the earthquake that occurred off the coast of Yamagata Prefecture in June. That was a problem, and there was a need to prevent recurrence.
TEPCO says, “I am very sorry for causing confusion in various places. I want to prevent thorough recurrence so that the same thing will not happen in the future.
