At the TEPCO Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, it was found that an employee of the Tokyo head office printed information on nuclear security without permission and took it home for teleworking, and the company side had to get permission from the person in charge. It is said that the system has been revised so that information cannot be printed.
According to TEPCO, on the 29th of last month, an employee of the Tokyo head office printed information on nuclear security at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant on a business trip without permission and took it home for telework.
The information is allowed to be printed or taken out with the permission of the boss who is in charge, but the employee did not have permission and kept it at home for 5 days until the 3rd of this month.
All printed information will be collected and no information will be lost or leaked to the outside.
To prevent recurrence, TEPCO has revised the system so that information cannot be printed without the permission of the person in charge.
Takeyuki Inagaki, director of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, said at a press conference, "Since the number of employees who come into contact with information on nuclear security is increasing, we will thoroughly educate them on how to handle the information."
