Nuclear power plant response to a huge eruption
To prepare for a nuclear power plant in response to a massive eruption, the NRA has decided to strengthen volcano surveillance and establish a system to catch signs of an eruption as soon as possible.
The Nuclear Regulation Authority requires Kyushu Electric Power to monitor the huge eruptions of the surrounding caldera volcano at the Kawauchi nuclear power plant in Kagoshima Prefecture and the Genkai nuclear power plant in Saga Prefecture. I was asking the council to make it at home for consideration.
The council wrote a report this week, stating that giant eruptions were difficult to predict with current technology, and confirmed significant changes by checking multiple data, such as crustal movements and volcanic gas emissions. He pointed out the importance of a system that strengthened surveillance and led to prompt responses.
In December last year, the Regulatory Commission stated that the volcano guide used in the assessment of restart of nuclear power plants also stated that `` predicting a huge eruption will misunderstand the assumption '' Has been added.
Based on this report, the Regulatory Committee has established a system to catch signs of an eruption as soon as possible, and in the unlikely event that the nuclear power plant will be shut down, the policy is to respond.
This is the end of the series of tasks to organize the response to the giant eruption.
