#Japan Watchdog Deals Blow to #Tsuruga #Nuclear Restart Plan
Decision is a blow for operator that wants to restart the unit
It is a setback for the government looking to revive nuclear
By Shoko Oda
July 26, 2024TOKYO (Reuters) - "A panel of Japan’s #nuclear watchdog decided on Friday against restarting a reactor at the Tsuruga #NuclearPowerPlant citing #seismic risks, paving the way for the regulator to keep the Japan Atomic Power plant shut.
"The panel said it was difficult to determine the safety of the reactor, noting the proximity of a seismic faultline.
"Consequently, it said, the reactor was not deemed compliant with criteria for installation licensing.
"'We will conduct an additional investigation. We are not considering decommissioning the plant,' Mamoru Muramatsu, president of Japan Atomic Power, said after the panel meeting, according to Kyodo News Agency.
"The government in Japan, one of the world’s most #seismically active countries, does not allow nuclear plants to be situated over active #faultlines.
"The panel is set to report its decision to the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) soon.
"If approved, this would be the first case of non-compliance under the stricter safety standards imposed after the 2011 #Fukushima nuclear disaster."

Japan nuclear watchdog halts Tsuruga reactor safety assessment again
KYODO NEWS KYODO NEWS - Apr 5, 2023
"Nuclear regulators said Wednesday they will again halt a safety assessment of an offline central Japan reactor after its operator repeatedly submitted documents containing errors, further prolonging a process toward resumption that has already taken years.
"Japan Atomic Power Co. has been seeking approval to reboot the No.2 unit at the #Tsuruga plant in #Fukui Prefecture under stricter regulations imposed following the 2011 #Fukushima #NuclearPowerPlant disaster, but its application has been fraught with mistakes and #DataTampering.
"The Nuclear Regulation Authority considered forcing the operator to withdraw its safety review application, but it ended up deciding on another suspension, citing how restarting the process all over the again would only burden the regulator.
"While public concern over the safety of nuclear facilities lingers following the Fukushima disaster, triggered by a massive quake and tsunami, the government is pushing the use of nuclear power as part of efforts to secure a stable electricity supply amid the war in Ukraine.
"Among the more than 30 existing nuclear reactors in Japan, 10 have resumed operations after clearing the post-Fukushima disaster safety hurdles, while 10 are still under examination by the nuclear watchdog, according to government data.
"The Tsuruga nuclear power plant is a two-unit complex, with the No. 1 reactor set to be scrapped. Japan Atomic Power submitted the safety review application for the No. 2 unit in 2015.
"In 2019, the nuclear regulators found over 1,000 inaccuracies in the documents submitted for measures against #earthquakes and #tsunamis, followed by revelations in February 2020 that the operator had rewritten data analyzing a drilling survey conducted on an area below the Tsuruga complex premises without approval.
"After a two-year suspension of the safety review, assessments restarted but they have remained at a virtual standstill as the regulators discovered errors in the locations given for geological features over the past months.
"In quake-prone #Japan, building #NuclearPlants or other important facilities directly above active faults is prohibited.
"Geological experts for the Nuclear Regulation Authority previously stated that a fault running underneath the No. 2 reactor was active, although #JapanAtomicPower has rejected the claims."
