Various measures have been taken against external events (earthquakes, tsunamis, external fires, tornadoes, etc.), according to new regulations, formulated considering severe accidents caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake. To insure that these measures will function without any problems in the event of an emergency, reliable maintenance management of the facilities themselves, training of personnel for the purpose of confirming the effectiveness of procedures drawn up, as well as confirming that prerequisites for various evaluation methods have not changed are speculated in the Tech. Spec. thus the periodic confirmation of safety and improvement of the skill level of operators is carried out.
In addition, for the purpose of studying effective measures to further improve safety, we have conducted a study of additional measures focusing in a preferential manner on issues that contribute principally to the overall risk, through analyzing results of probabilistic risk assessment including these facilities, measures, etc.
