Venue: 3rd Conference Room, House of Representatives Diet Office Building #1
Speakers: MIYADAI Shinji, others as below
Language: Held in Japanese with full English interpretation provided.
- Investigating the causes of the accident to prevent another “Fukushima”
- Necessity of reorganizing the existing nuclear safety regulatory regime
- Safety could not be confirmed by the stress-test
- Lowered values for control rod insertability at Oi Nuclear Power Plant, Units 3 & 4
- Explanation to and agreement from areas surrounding nuclear power plants that may be
affected by an accident.
- “Shortage of Electricity”, a fabrication of KEPCO
Restart of nuclear reactors currently stopped for periodic inspection is pending, especially with Ohi
Nuclear Power Plant Units 3 and 4. However, the ongoing process is being carried out without
completion of the investigation into the causes of the Fukushima accident, review of safety
evaluation criteria, and restructuring of the existing nuclear safety regulatory regime. The voices of
the Japanese citizens are likewise not reflected.
Also, it has been revealed that KEPCO together with the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency
lowered the value of control rod insertability so that the value will not go over the safety standard
even when the 3 active faults simultaneously cause earthquakes.
Under this urgent situation, citizens, experts, and people in the communities of Fukushima and
Fukui are once again expressing their determination to“Stop! Nuclear Power Restart” and sharing
the latest situation.
