On the 5th, Governor Hanazumi of Niigata Prefecture told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate a nuclear power plant at TEPCO due to a series of problems that revealed deficiencies in anti-terrorism measures at the TEPCO Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture. I requested that you re-evaluate whether you have the ability.
About the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant TEPCO is aiming to restart, but since March last year, multiple facilities to detect intrusions such as terrorists have broken down, and the countermeasures after that have not worked sufficiently, and the central control room of employees. Inadequate measures against terrorism have been discovered one after another, such as the illegal entry into the room, and the Regulatory Commission plans to take administrative measures.
In response to this problem, Governor Hanazumi of Niigata Prefecture visited the Regulatory Commission on the 5th, mentioned that the Regulatory Commission passed the examination necessary for restarting four years ago, and renewed the nuclear power plant to TEPCO. I requested that you re-evaluate whether you have the technical ability to drive.
In response, Secretary-General Ogino of the Nuclear Regulation Authority of the Secretariat replied, "We will carry out additional inspections and make strict checks in the future."
The Regulatory Commission has instructed TEPCO to compile a cause analysis by September, and is TEPCO technically capable of including recurrence prevention measures in the additional inspections scheduled after that? I'm thinking of checking.
In addition, the Regulatory Commission is expected to decide on an administrative punishment to ban the movement of nuclear fuel based on TEPCO's statement of deadline on the 7th, and if this is decided, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant will continue to be unable to restart. ..
