Tepco brings lessons from accident sequence


Tepco brings lessons from accident sequence

07 August 2014
As it continues to study the details of the complex accident at Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power Company is sharing information with other nuclear power plant operators.
As the owner and operator of Fukushima Daiichi, Tepco is committed to maintaining safety at the accident site and cleaning it up. It has been running an investigation into some 52 "unconfirmed or unclear matters" relating to the accident sequence, and on 6 August it released its second report.
In one of its findings Tepco outlined what it thought was the reason why an automatic safety system switched off, saying this would cause it to develop new operational procedures that could increase safety at other power plants.
