At the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, there were a series of serious deficiencies in anti-terrorism measures. I would like you to try to understand the site and see if the level of nuclear material protection has been achieved and maintained. "
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a regular meeting on the 20th to confirm the recurrence prevention measures submitted by TEPCO in response to the problems surrounding the counterterrorism measures that have been revealed one after another at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant. We discussed the typical inspection.
Regarding the outline of the inspection, the Nuclear Regulatory Agency of the Secretariat explained that it will confirm the specific contents and effects of recurrence prevention measures, as well as the impact of cost reduction efforts on the quality of counterterrorism measures.
On the other hand, Chairman Fuketa said, "It is extremely strong that the measures to prevent recurrence were created by TEPCO and prepared by the head office. I would like you to see if it has been achieved and maintained. "
And it was decided that the inspection will start from this month at the earliest.
Units 6 and 7 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant have passed the examination required for restarting, but Chairman Sarada of the Regulatory Commission said, "I think the inspection will take about a year," and next fall. Until then, it is expected that the state of being unable to restart will continue.
