Press Release (Aug 11,2011)
Partial Correction of Interim Report (revision) concerning Seismic Safety Evaluation of Unit 2 in Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station
 
We have been conducting seismic safety evaluation along with the revision 
(hereafter "New Guide") of "Regulatory Guide for Reviewing Seismic Design 
of Nuclear Power Reactor Facilities", based on the instruction* from 
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Nuclear and Industrial Safety 
Agency. We compiled the interim report of seismic safety evaluation of the 
reactor building and major S class facilities which have important roles 
for safety in Unit 2 of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station, and 
submitted it to Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (hereafter "NISA").
                (Previously announced on April 3, 2009, and April 19, 2010)
 
-Interim Report concerning Seismic Safety Evaluation along with the 
 revision of "Regulatory Guide for Reviewing Seismic Design of Nuclear 
 Power Reactor Facilities" of Fukushima (Revision, submitted on April 3, 
 2009)
-Interim Report concerning Seismic Safety Evaluation along with the 
 revision of "Regulatory Guide for Reviewing Seismic Design of Nuclear 
 Power Reactor Facilities" of Fukushima (2nd Revision, submitted on April 
 19, 2009)
 
After the submission of the interim report, in the process of the further 
evaluation we continued, we found that some errors in the analysis model 
used for the evaluation and therefore evaluation results of 2 out of 7 
facilities covered in the interim report needs correction. We reported the 
above to NISA accordingly.
We confirmed that the corrected evaluation results also show there are no 
seismic safety issues and that there are no similar problems in other 
plants of TEPCO.
