(May 19, 2013)The Yomiuri Shimbun writes in its article of May 19, 2013 (morning edition page 1 and 8) that we have decided to apply to the Nuclear Regulation Authority to restart Reactor No 1 and 7 at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station by the end of July, after revised safety standards are implemented earlier that month. The facts are as below.
-We have not decided to apply to restart Reactor No 1 and 7 at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in July.
-We cannot specify the target completion date of the filter vent, since we're currently in the process of detail design. We are now constructing the foundation.
-We are now checking the compatibility of the new regulation standard (proposal).
-We will keep working on countermeasures to enhance further safety and reliability of the power station.
