The NRA regularly exchanges opinions with the top management of each electric power company.
On the 21st, Tomoaki Kobayakawa, president of TEPCO, was invited 10 years before the nuclear accident next year.
Among them, Toyoshi Fuketa, the chairman of the Regulatory Commission, mentioned that the Regulatory Commission resumed the investigation of the nuclear accident from last year. "There is still something to be learned from the nuclear accident. TEPCO will investigate the site further. I want you to do it, "he said, and while there are still many things that are still unknown in the details of the accident, he requested that he put more effort into not only decommissioning but also on-site investigation and verification.
In response, President Kobayakawa replied, "I want to put in place the necessary personnel and other systems. Understanding risks through surveys is an important finding."
In addition, regarding the disposal of water containing radioactive substances such as tritium that continues to accumulate, the Regulatory Commission ordered that "TEPCO should take the initiative in solving the problem."
President Kobayakawa said, "I would like to coordinate with the parties concerned and proceed with the response," without mentioning specific disposal methods or prospects.
In addition, I did not mention any specific plans for the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Niigata Prefecture, where the procedure for restarting operations is proceeding.
