TEPCO’s Kashiwazaki nuclear plant hit with another security flaw

Japan’s nuclear watchdog said Thursday another faulty antiterrorism measure
had been found at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear complex, operated by Tokyo
Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. The Nuclear Regulation Authority
convened an emergency meeting to discuss responses to the latest discovery
that a TEPCO employee had made an unauthorized copy of a confidential
document in June and stored it in his desk at the complex in Niigata
Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo. TEPCO is preparing to restart a reactor at
the site for the first time since the 2011 crisis at its Fukushima plant.
