On August 22, 2011, we received an instruction document titled "Response
to Data Mis-entry Made by Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., Regarding
Seismic Safety Assessment for Reactor Buildings and Auxiliary Reactor
Buildings of Units 3 and 4, Takahama Nuclear Power Station (instruction)"*
from NISA.
(Previously announced on August 23, 2011)
In response to this instruction document, we have checked if there were any
errors in the input data for analysis and assumptions and have re-examined
seismic safety assessment regarding unit 5 and unit 6 of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa
Nuclear Power Station. As a result of survey this time, we have confirmed
there were no errors in the input data and assumptions and there were no
problems on the seismic safety assessment and reported such result to NISA
today.
In addition, we also reported NISA there were some description errors which
have no impact on the result of seismic safety assessment.
