A week ago, Japan's Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, which is the world's largest nuclear power plant, was forced to close for safety reasons. Now Kashiwazaki-Kariwa has suffered another, somewhat stranger, mishap.
This time it was a blunder from an employee that meant that the nuclear power plant had to continue waiting for a restart.
Drove away – then the documents were scattered to the wind
Many car owners can certainly recognize themselves in that time when you refueled the car, forgot your cup of coffee on the car roof and burned away. Something similar happened to the employee at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa.
The person in question had put a bunch of very important papers on the car roof – something he forgot about when he started the car and started riding.
Was about floods and fires
The fad was discovered only after a local resident found some of the documents – which included how the nuclear power plant would handle floods and fires.
And the story doesn't end there – 38 pages of the important documents are still missing.
Nuclear power in Japan has come under heavy scrutiny since the accident in Fukushima just over ten years ago, and both the careless driver and his boss have received warnings.
