Continuous Collection of Scientific/Technical Findings and Incorporation of Those Findings into Seismic Safety Evaluation

In accordance with the directive document, "Continuous Collection of New Scientific and Technical Findings on Seismic Safety of Nuclear Facilities and Incorporation of New Findings into the Seismic Safety Evaluation at Nuclear Power Stations" (April 13, 2009 NISA No.3) issued by the previous Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on May 8, 2009, we have implemented relevant activities since FY2009 and reported to the Nuclear Regulation Authority about the activities implemented in the previous fiscal year by the end of April every year.
