Self-regulatory Activity and Self-regulatory Organization in the Nuclear Industry“Self-regulation” means the operators voluntarily and continuously improving safety and pursuing excellenceby disciplining oneself and each other, not being satisfied with meeting only legal regulatory standards.
“Self-regulatory organization” is an organization that maintains independence and leads the operators so that
their self-regulation can proceed effectively and efficiently.
Roles and Responsibilities in Self-regulation[JANSI members (operators)] As a main actor of self-regulation, operators fulfill their responsibilities as amember of community and continue to make united efforts to improvesafety[Granted strong authority]〇Commitment to utility CEOs based on the “Collaboration Principles”
・Respect and maintain independence

Individual and collective responsibility for safety of nuclear facilities

・Granted authority to plant shutdownGive authority and support to a self-regulatory organization to implement
the mission

・Granted access rights to power plant information, etc.

[Self-regulatory organization (JANSI)] Roles and responsibilities to assist self-regulation activities effectively andefficiently
・Evaluate and monitor self-regulatory activities (Watchdog)
・Stimulate activities (Catalyst)
・Promote activities by showing the path forward (Facilitator)
・Be firm anchorage (Accountable Agent)

Relationship with INPO and WANO

Relationship with INPO (Institute of Nuclear Power Operations) As self-regulatory organizations with the same vision of "pursuing the highest level of
performance," INPO and JANSI mutually cooperates on behalf of the operators of the US and Japanon the issues of improving safety of nuclear power plants.
・Benchmarking visit to US power plants
・Exchange of opinions between the US and Japanese nuclear industries
regarding the reflection of Fukushima Daiichi lessons learned

Reprinted from the INPO website.
The word "EXCELLENCE" remains unfinished.
It is a symbol of "The road to improvement never ends."

Relationship with WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators)
 Although WANO and JANSI are independent organizations, they cooperate with each other to improve
the safety of nuclear power plants by taking advantage of their respective characteristics. JANSI closelycooperates with WANO Tokyo Center.
 JANSI strives to grasp and pursue international standards for world’s excellence and evaluation/support
methods.
・From JANSI: Dispatch reviewers to WANO peer reviews, provide PI information of domestic operators, etc.

Based on the reflection on the Fukushima Daiichi accident, JANSI drives the operator activities and pursue
world’s excellence beyond the regulatory framework.
For this reason, JANSI top executives directly informs the CEOs of the operators about the areas for
improvement and encourages improvement.

【Peer Reviews】
 Directly present peer review results (areas for improvement, etc.) to the operator CEOs

(Regarding common issues, the content will be shared at the CEO session (a place for exchanging opinions exclusively forthe operator CEOs, hosted by JANSI))【Safety Culture】
 Directly present the safety culture diagnosis results to the operator CEOs
【Power Plant Integrated Assessment】
 Present the integrated assessment results (5-grade evaluation) at the CEO session (Peer pressure)【Recommendation for safety improvement measures】
 Directly present the consideration of safety improvement measures to the operator CEOs
【CEO session, CEO training, Dialogue】

Handling of Information on Peer Reviews, etc.

• In order for peer reviews, safety culture diagnosis, and various support
activities to be continuously effective, it is important to maintain asound environment surrounding these activities.
• Frank dialogue with the operators is indispensable forobserving/evaluating the operator performance, and its content ismaintained on the premise that it is kept private and used productively.

Number of Unplanned Shutdownsof Nuclear Reactors at Restarted Plants

Operation from the last phase of
the fiscal year, shutdown due toprovisional injunction, etc. partly
affected the capacity factor*1*2

All plants in Japan*1: The capacity factor for FY2015-2017 is low mainly due to operation starting in the middle of the fiscal year (FY2015: Sendai Unit 1, 2, Takahama
Unit 3; FY2016: Ikata Unit 3; FY2017: Takahama Unit 4, Ohi Unit 3, Genkai Unit 3) and shutdown due to provisional injunction to halt operation(FY2015-2017: Takahama Unit 3).
*2: The capacity factor in FY2020 is low mainly due to specialized safety facility installation work (Sendai Unit 1, 2, Takahama Unit 3, 4) andprovisional injunction to halt operation (Ikata Unit 3).

Pursue the world’s highest level of safety～ Untiring Pursuit of the Highest Standards of Excellence ～(Source): Japan Atomic Industrial Forum Website, Nuclear Information Archives (NUCIA)(Note):
・The capacity factor of plants restarted after complying with the new regulatory standards is
calculated as the average value of capacity factor since the year of restart (including the
shutdown period due to specialized safety facility installation work as well as provisional
disposition decision of the court).
・ For the number of events from FY2015 onward, the number of events from FY2015 to
FY2021, during which time the plant conforming to new regulatory standards was inoperation, was extracted.
・ For the number of events before the Fukushima Daiichi accident, the number of events from
FY2003 (when NUCIA started operation) to FY2010 (when Fukushima Daiichi accident
occurred), was extracted.

 Maintenance skill certification tasks① In the maintenance skill certification system (built voluntarily by electric utility companies) that certifies
qualifications for workers engaged in maintenance work at NPPs according to nation-wide common standards,
carry out certification tasks as a neutral institution at the request of electric utility companies.
② The cumulative number of certifications up to FY2021 is 6,595.
All tasks are to be taken into consideration for transfer to other organizations in the 10-Year Strategy, and as aresult of discussions and coordination with the FEPC, from April 2022, standards related tasks were transferred to

Initiatives to promote understanding of JANSI’s activities and voluntary safety improvement

 Background
The NRA, ANRE, Domestic Advisory Committee members, etc. have commented that it is hard to see JANSI's
activities and that it is important to actively promote JANSI’s voluntary safety improvement initiatives.
 Direction of the Initiatives① Based on the fact that JANSI's activities function as a self-regulatory organization, will provide timely andappropriate information and hold dialogues by effective means based on the purpose of the appeal for eachappeal target.
② Strict information management will be carried out for matters related to the privacy of individual power
plants and for information related to INPO and WANO, ensuring confidentiality.
 Status of the Initiatives① Enhancement of the content according to target and purpose
In addition to issuing JANSI On-Line four times a year,
create public annual reports and post them on the website,
and utilize them for dialogues with related organizations, etc.
② Enhancement of the public website
For the purpose of making information with higher needs more timely, easier to understand, easier to see, andeasier to use, change the layout of the top screen, etc.
