Nuclear regulators to continue careful screening
Nuclear & Energy Jul. 8, 2015 - Updated 21:27 UTC-4
The
head of Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority says regulators will
continue to be careful in screening reactors for restart even though the
process may be slow.
Shunichi Tanaka spoke at a news conference on
Wednesday, the second anniversary of the implementation of new
regulations for nuclear plants. The stricter rules were introduced after
the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident.
Not a single reactor has been
put back online in the past 2 years, including those at Sendai nuclear
plant in southern Japan, which were the first to pass the screening.
Tanaka
said the authority is looking at 25 reactors at 15 plants. He said the
process is taking time, but that their job is not easy.
Tanaka said some people seem unable to wait, but rushing means ignoring safety and returning to the past.
He suggested the authority will remain careful, while improving its efficiency.
Some experts have pointed out there are no scientific grounds for limiting a nuclear plant's operation to 40 years in principle.
Tanaka
defended the life-span limit, saying the United States and France also
conduct very strict screening over whether to allow operation over 40
years. He said he does not have enough knowledge to say whether or not
40 years is scientifically valid and if a change to that rule is
required.
Despite moves to restart reactors, Japan lacks nuclear waste disposal site
