Regarding the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 in Fukui Prefecture, it is inappropriate for Japan Atomic Power Company to delete some fault data and list only the latest results, according to the problem pointed out by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. , The Regulatory Commission has completed the interview survey conducted at the head office of Japan Atomic Power Company and will confirm the results of the internal survey conducted by the company in the future.

Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 has been examined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for restarting for five years, but opinions have been divided over the evaluation of the fault, and deliberation continues.



Regarding this, the Regulatory Commission has deleted some of the data shown in the past in the material that summarizes the results of the boring survey of the fault passing directly under the nuclear power plant submitted by Japan Atomic Power Company in February, and is the latest. The fact that only the results were listed made it difficult to compare the data, and on the 14th and 15th, we conducted a survey at the head office of Japan Atomic Power Company in Tokyo, saying that it was inappropriate.



As a result, a person in charge of the Nuclear Regulation Authority of the secretariat said, "We interviewed employees and confirmed documents, but there are still some unclear points in the circumstances and decision-making," and Japan Atomic Power Company will implement it in the future. I decided to confirm the result of the in-house investigation.



Japan Atomic Power Company plans to set up an in-house team to conduct surveys after the beginning of the year.



Hiroshi Muta, Vice President of Japan Atomic Power Company, said that he had no intention of falsification and said, "I would like to properly analyze the root cause and take appropriate measures in the future."

"Perform analysis and take measures"

After the investigation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Hiroshi Muta, Vice President of Japan Atomic Power Company, said, "We have caused concern to a large number of people, including those in the region. I would like to identify the factors behind it and take appropriate measures. "



In addition, Vice President Muta said about the rewriting of the description, "I explained in the investigation of the Regulatory Commission that the reason for the rewriting is that more reliable data can be obtained," and there was no intention of falsification again. It was made.
