  • Mr. Masafumi Sakurai received reports from the Plant Chief and other staff members of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station on the safety measures for facilities and management implemented since the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, whilst viewing the areas himself.
  • He commented, "Regarding the Nuclear Safety Reform Plan, I can see steady progress on the safety measures for facilities. However, I think TEPCO needs to make some progress on the management measures. To enhance the measures, as an example, I'd like TEPCO to conduct drills in various situations, such as darkness or snow".
