Emergency preparedness and emergency training and exercise of Hamaoka NPS

Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station has always embraced the most up-to-date knowledge in its effort to enhance safety. Following the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, we have been implementing countermeasures for tsunami and severe accidents, and introducing additional measures in light of the New Regulatory Requirements so as to build up our safety. While reinforcing facility measures, Hamaoka NPS is also making all-out efforts to 'strengthen the frontline response capabilities' as it is humans who can handle those facilities to make the measures function effectively. Strengthening cooperation with local communities to enable a coordinated response in case of nuclear emergency is also essential. 'No More Fukushima Daiichi Accidents', with this firm resolve, Hamaoka NPS is making all-out efforts for safety. (author)
