柏崎原発を立ち入り検査　テロ対策不備で規制委

　東京電力柏崎刈羽原発（新潟県）のテロ対策に不備が相次いだ問題で、原子力規制委員会は２６日、同原発を立ち入り検査した。東電が９月に提出した報告書を受けて実施する追加検査の一環で、関係者からの聞き取りや記録類の確認などを行う。
　柏崎刈羽原発では、侵入検知装置の故障が放置されるなどテロ対策の不備が相次ぎ、規制委は４月、事実上の運転禁止を命令。東電は９月、「核物質防護に関するリスク認識が弱く、現場の実態把握が不十分だった」とした上で、経営層の関与強化や教育研修の充実といった再発防止策を盛り込んだ報告書を規制委に提出した。（2021/10/26-18:34）

Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority on Tuesday inspected Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture, central Japan, over flaws in security against terrorism.
   The nuclear industry watchdog will interview TEPCO employees and check records and data at the plant. The inspection was launched as an additional examination after TEPCO submitted a report on the problem in September.
   The plant had a lot of security problems, including the failure to fix dysfunctional equipment to detect intruders. This led the NRA to issue in April an order to effectively ban TEPCO from operating the plant.
   In September, TEPCO said in the report that it had low risk awareness over nuclear materials protection and failed to check on-site operations sufficiently.
   The report also included preventive measures such as an improvement in employee training and an increase in the involvement of the management in related affairs.
