We have made great improvements to the labor environment. In addition to reducing the amount of protective equipment required through field decontamination, we’ve also built a large rest house that has a cafeteria in which workers can get hot meals (May 2015), a convenience store (March 2016), and a shower facility (April 2016). Furthermore, in preparation for accidents we also established a 24-hour emergency room (ER) where medical treatment can be received (July 2011), and we built a helipad in May 2017 to prepare for cases where workers need to be quickly evacuated to an external medical facility.
- *1
- In the Unit 1 to 3 reactor buildings, the Unit 1-4 turbine buildings, and the surrounding buildings, areas with retained water.
- *2
- The Y zone designation shown by the yellow dotted lines applies to work involving contamination, such as handling of high-concentration saltwater. For work such as patrols or site surveys for work planning, the G zone standard applies.
The Y zone standard is set temporarily even outside the Y zone areas shown in the figure, in G zone areas when work is performed involving high concentration particulate matter (building demolition, etc.) or on tank transfer lines for high concentration saltwater, etc.
- *3
- In addition to the G zone areas shown in the figure, covers some other areas such as the second and third floors of the common pool building.
