Regarding Tsuruga Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 in Fukui Prefecture, the data submitted by Japan Atomic Power Company in the past was partially deleted and overwritten, and only the latest survey results were described. I also had doubts, so I decided to decide again whether to continue the examination necessary for restarting.
The examination may be interrupted depending on future discussions.
At the regular meeting on the 28th, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission discussed how Japan Atomic Power Company deleted some of the data on the fault passing directly under Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 and overwrote only the latest analysis results.
The committee members pointed out that rewriting and erroneous descriptions of the materials have been occurring one after another, at least since then, and commented that "there is a great doubt as to whether the materials are appropriate or correct."
He also touched on the Tokai No. 2 nuclear power plant in Ibaraki prefecture, which was also operated by Japan Atomic Power Company and passed the examination for restarting three years ago. There was also an opinion that the examination of Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 should be stopped.
Regarding this, Chairman Fuketa said, "If the application for restart examination is not reliable, the result of the examination will not be finalized. I would like to discuss again what to do in the future." I did.
The examination may be interrupted depending on future discussions.
In addition, he said, "If the examination of Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 cannot be continued, how about proceeding with checking the remaining documents at Tokai No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant?" Suggested the possibility of affecting.
