汚染水漏れ、再発防止指導　斎藤経産相、東電社長と面会

　東京電力福島第１原発での汚染水漏れ問題に関し、斎藤健経済産業相は２１日、東京電力ホールディングスの小早川智明社長を経産省に呼び、「ヒューマンエラーとして対処するのではなく、経営上の課題として受け止めて再発防止と安全確保に取り組んでほしい」と指導した。小早川氏は「今回の防止策が一過性のものとならないよう、継続的に徹底していく」と述べた。（2024/02/21-12:04）

Japanese industry minister Ken Saito instructed Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. on Wednesday not to repeat a leak of contaminated water at its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
   Saito summoned TEPCO President Tomoaki Kobayakawa to his ministry and urged the company to view a recent water leak not as a human error but as a management problem and work to prevent a similar incident and ensure safety.
   Kobayakawa responded that the company will continue to take thorough preventive measures.
   At the Fukushima nuclear plant, contaminated water leaked from a pipe on Feb. 7 after a worker forgot to close a valve.
   TEPCO plans to take measures to automatically detect errors, such as digitalizing equipment, while hearing advice from external experts.
