Regarding the problem that multiple facilities for detecting intruders such as terrorists were broken at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, Chairman Sarada of the Nuclear Regulation Authority said that TEPCO took alternative measures during the breakdown. I reiterated the idea that I need to confirm about.

At the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant, which TEPCO is aiming to restart, multiple facilities for detecting intruders such as terrorists have been destroyed since March last year, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been in a state of allowing unauthorized intrusion for a long time. , It shows a provisional evaluation that it corresponds to the most serious level among the four-stage evaluation related to nuclear material protection.



Regarding this, TEPCO explained that as of last month, a total of 16 detection facilities were aware of the failure and took alternative measures.

Toyoshi Fuketa, chairman of the Regulatory Commission, said at a press conference on the 17th, "It was also confirmed that some employees were concerned about the content of the alternative measures from unannounced inspections. Is it a misinterpretation or a loose feeling? I would like to clarify it by an additional inspection. "



On that basis, if TEPCO did not give an opinion on the provisional evaluation by the 23rd of this month, the most serious evaluation would be finalized, and it was clarified that the subsequent response and disposal will be considered at a public meeting. ..
