Nuclear Problems To Be Disclosed After Resolved

Nuclear problems to be disclosed after resolved

Japan's nuclear regulator has decided that problems at a terrorism-response facility for a reactor must not be made public in principle until they are resolved. The regulator regards the decision as part of anti-terrorism measures.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority discussed on Wednesday its policy of disclosing possible problems at the back-up facilities. The agency also decided when information is released after resolution, details should not be included. The regulator also says it will swiftly disclose serious problems that may lead to a halt of a reactor while withholding their details.
