We have reported the results of the comprehensive safety evaluation
(primary evaluation) to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA)
on January 16, 2012, per instructions received from NISA on July 22, 2011,
titled "Comprehensive Evaluation of Existing Nuclear Power Reactor
Facilities after the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., (Instruction)".
(Announced on July 22, 2011, and January 16, 2012)
Later, in the process of preparing documents for the examination we came
across some incorrect data (5 inaccuracies) in the report. However, we also
confirmed that these 5 inaccuracies do not affect the evaluation results.
(Announced on January 25, 2012)
Since we found errors in the report, we once again checked whether there
were any other errors in the report. As a result, we found 158 errors (Unit
1: 81 errors, Unit 7: 77 errors) (including 5 errors reported on January 25,
2012). However, we also confirmed that those errors found this time do not
affect the evaluation results.
We reported this issue to NISA on February 1, 2012. On the same day, NISA
verbally instructed us to first, reestablish the quality assurance system
including the investigation of the causes and preventive measures regarding
errors, and then to review the report again and re-submit it.
(Announced on February 1, 2012)
Later, we reestablish the quality assurance system including the
investigation of the causes and preventive measures regarding errors, and
reviewed the report thoroughly.
As a result, we found 239 errors (Unit 1: 118 errors, Unit 7: 121 errors)
(including 158 errors reported up to on February 1, 2012). However, we also
confirmed that those errors found this time do not affect the evaluation
results.
Today, we corrected 239 errors contained in the report submitted to NISA
on January 16, 2012, and re-submitted after revising the expression.
