On August 22, 2011, we received an instruction document titled "Response
to Data Mis-entry Made by Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., Regarding the
Seismic Safety Assessment for Reactor Buildings and Auxiliary Reactor
Buildings of Units 3 and 4, Takahama Nuclear Power Station (Instruction)*"
from Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) of Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry.
Based on the instruction, we will review the data and conditions used for
evaluating our nuclear power equipment irrespective of service contractors,
and the report on Seismic Safety Evaluation. The results will be reported
to NISA by the time the Comprehensive Evaluation of Existing Nuclear
Facilities on the seismic safety margin is implemented.
