Abstract
When the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) of Tokyo Electric Power Company was attacked by the Niigataken Chuetsu-oki earthquake on July 16th in 2007, three units were in operation, one in start-up and the other three in refueling and maintenance outage. It is important to learn lessons from this event for improvement of the design, operation and management of nuclear power plants. In this presentation, we evaluated the experience and lessons learned from technical viewpoints, and selected good practices for disseminating and sharing them among various industries not limited to nuclear.
