Press Release (Dec 25, 2017)The 5th Progress Report on the Investigation and Examination of Unconfirmed and Unresolved Issues on the Development Mechanism of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident

TEPCO has been investigating and examining 52 unconfirmed and unresolved issues on the development mechanism of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident, in order to make progress on decommissioning work and continuous improvements of safety technology at nuclear power stations.

In this 5th Progress Report, we show the investigation and examination results for 6 of the 52 issues.

Moreover, the investigation and examination to understand the development mechanism of all 10 high-priority issues was completed by the 4th progress report.
