NRA to question TEPCO executives:
Officials of Japan's nuclear regulatory body are set to question executives of Tokyo Electric Power Company over safety policies at its nuclear plants.
The Nuclear Regulation Authority, or NRA, held a meeting on Wednesday and discussed a recent series of problems at nuclear plants operated by TEPCO.
At the No. 5 reactor of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata Prefecture, the utility found warps in the water-cooling pipes inside 18 spent-fuel assemblies.
TEPCO reported the tubes may have been warped by excessive force when workers moved the fuel assemblies.
Other troubles and violations of the law have been reported since the nuclear accident in Fukushima in March last year.
On Tuesday last week, water leakage was reported on a line that purifies wastewater at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
NRA Chairman Shunichi Tanaka said his officials will question company executives about the matter.
Tanaka said TEPCO has systemic problems and he cannot dispel doubts over its safety awareness.
