Revised law enables surprise inspection of nuclear plants
The Diet passed on Friday a sweeping reform of nuclear inspections to allow regulators to conduct unannounced inspections of nuclear plants and give them unlimited access to needed data.
The enactment of the revised nuclear reactor regulation law comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency suggested Japan, which has been holding periodic inspections using checklists, needs a more flexible system.
The new inspection system, based on the U.S. system, will be implemented from fiscal 2020 after the Nuclear Regulation Authority sets specific rules.

The global nuclear industry is revving up, encouraged by the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who are now backers of (and perhaps backed by) the nuclear industry.
The pandemic and global heating are still top problems for the world. Most media cover these dangers. The one that they mainly leave out, is the nuclear threat – or worse, they mindlessly regurgitate handouts from companies like NuScale – enthusiastic promotion of small nuclear reactors.
For this reason – this website will now focus more directly on its original purpose – spreading information that exposes the corrupt and toxic worldwide nuclear industry.
(However, on this sidebar, we’ll still put in some alerts from climate science experts)
