Press Release (Aug 01,2011)
Receipt of instruction document from NISA on a certificate for identification at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
On August 1, 2011, we received a cautionary document regarding tightening 
the physical access controls being applied to personnel entering and 
exiting Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. On July 7, 2011, an on-
site inspection by NISA was conducted at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power 
Station since the identities of the station's workers were unable to be 
confirmed. At the time, it was also revealed that original official 
identification was not being verified and the worker's identification was 
not being presented in person during the issuing of the worker's 
identification in accordance with the physical protection program's access 
control procedures.
We will conduct a survey in accordance with the cautionary document and 
report the results to NISA.

We have already improved access controls by making it a point to confirm 
original identification when we issue out worker identification.
