Chubu Electrical Energy President Kingo Hayashi mentioned Monday that the corporate could have cherry-picked earthquake knowledge that prompted authorities to display security requirements on the Hamaoka nuclear energy plant in Shizuoka Prefecture based mostly on weaker quake projections.
As such, reactors on the Hamaoka plant are unlikely to be restarted anytime quickly. Reactors No. 3 and No. 4 had been underneath security screening by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), a nuclear watchdog.
At a information convention on the firm’s headquarters within the metropolis of Nagoya, Hayashi revealed that quake knowledge offered to the NRA was not calculated because it was imagined to have been.
