[Japan’s Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant falsified seismic data and withdrawn its plan to restart nuclear power] September 14th: In order to restart the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant as soon as possible, Chubu Japan Electric Power Co., Ltd. committed false statements and concealments and other irregularities during the review process of earthquake safety data. Chubu Electric Power Co., Ltd. announced that it had withdrawn its restart plan, and company president Hayashi Shingo and chairman Tetsu Katsuno resigned. According to reports, after the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission learned of violations through external reports in February last year, Chubu Electric Power admitted the matter in January this year and established a third-party investigation committee to find out the details. Chubu Electric Power held a press conference in Nagoya City on September 14 to announce the investigation report submitted by the investigation committee. The report pointed out that when submitting the seismic safety data for the restart application of Units 3 and 4 of the nuclear power plant, Chubu Electric Power deliberately screened the seismic wave data to ensure that the relevant data complied with the safety parameters set within the company. Furthermore, despite two previous internal reports indicating violations, company management failed to take appropriate corrective action. The report also revealed that top management had put pressure on employees to restart the reactor as soon as possible; the company even dismissed any criticism that hindered its achievement of goals based on its "own sense of justice."
