July 30, 2013
- Lady Barbara Judge CBE briefed the Nuclear Safety Oversight Office and listened to their enthusiastic response. The following is an overview of the briefing Lady Barbara Judge CBE presented to the Nuclear Safety Oversight Office.
- (1)I think the Nuclear Safety Oversight Office consists of intelligent members, with a variety of backgrounds and experience. I’d like you all to lead TEPCO to become the company with the world’s highest safety and technology standards.
- (2)TEPCO sometimes put efficiency ahead of safety before the Fukushima Daiichi accident occurred. Following the accident, I recognize that TEPCO has been changing so that it puts safety ahead of efficiency. You must all take the initiative and imbue a safety culture throughout the organization.
- (3)It is important for TEPCO to enhance security standards more quickly than any other company. The Nuclear Safety Office should monitor progress periodically.
- (4)I’d like you to pay careful attention to detail and perform your work thoroughly.
