Careless Mistake May Cause World’s Biggest Nuclear Plant to Stay Shut
Another careless mistake has further postponed the restart of the world’s biggest nuclear power plant in Japan which was shut down due to safety lapses. An employee reportedly left some documents on the top of his car and forgot to collect them before driving off. Most of Japan’s nuclear reactors remain shut after the 2011 Fukushima disaster due to safety concerns.
The reopening of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan’s Niigata prefecture was postponed last week due to safety lapses. Now, another mistake seems to have further pushed its reopening. An employee reportedly placed a stack of documents on top of a car but drove off before picking them back up. The documents are now lost.
The nuclear power plant is operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co and this is the latest in a string of mistakes. Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority had decided last week to keep a de facto ban on the power station citing inadequate preventative measures.
