Workers for regular inspections of nuclear power plants Request for home waiting for 2 weeks in advance Fukui Prefecture April 28, 22:05

Since many workers from all over the country gather for the periodic inspections conducted at nuclear power plants, Fukui Prefecture should wait for two weeks in advance for workers from outside the prefecture as a countermeasure against new coronavirus infection. I asked Kansai Electric Power.

In Fukui Prefecture, where 8 nuclear power plants are located, a regular inspection, which is scheduled to be carried out once a year at the Kansai Electric Power Oi Nuclear Power Plant No. 3 machine, will start on the 8th of next month, and approximately 1800 workers will be engaged. It's a schedule.

Nearly half of them will be from outside the prefecture, so Governor Sugimoto of Fukui Prefecture asked Kansai Electric Power Company to wait at home for two weeks before starting work as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus on the 28th. I made it clear.

Many workers are employed by a large number of contractors who undertake the work.

Kansai Electric Power Co., Ltd. wants to respond positively, and is considering discussing how to carry out specific inspections with its subcontractors.
