I additionally indicated an thought to debate on the moon.
Regarding Tsuruga Nuclear Power Station Unit 2, which Japan Atomic Power is aiming to restart, it has been identified that the fault operating immediately below the reactor constructing “could transfer sooner or later,” and the exercise of the fault is the main focus.
At the assessment assembly held on the seventeenth, Japan Atomic Power reconfirmed the supplies submitted previously, and located that the a number of specimens that have been minimize out to verify the state of the fault have been initially minimize out. I reported that I discovered that I had minimize out a distinct place.
The examination of Tsuruga Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 was suspended for about two years because of the drawback that Japan Atomic Power had partially rewritten the fault knowledge, and it was simply resumed in December final 12 months.
However, even after the restart, the regulatory committee requested an evidence, similar to discovering 157 components that wanted correction within the supplies submitted previously.
In response to the report {that a} new error was discovered, Nuclear Regulation Authority Commissioner Akira Ishiwatari stated, “Even though the review has been resumed, the materials are insufficient and the situation continues to prevent a substantial review. I would like to discuss whether to continue the review at the Nuclear Regulation Authority meeting in April.”
