[NHK] Delayed disclosure at Ohi plant

Ohi nuclear plant has not been restarted yet, but Kepco is already starting to manipulate the state of the plant.

Delayed disclosure at Ohi plant
The operator of the Ohi nuclear power plant says an alarm went off on Tuesday on a water level detector at its No.3 reactor.
The plant in Fukui Prefecture, central Japan will become the first to go back online in Japan since last year’s disaster.
Kansai Electric Power Company said on Wednesday that the alarm suggested the water level had fallen in a tank used to cool an electric power generator at its No.3 reactor.
The firm says workers who examined the tank found no leaks but that the water level was about 5 centimeters lower than usual. The company says it’s investigating the cause of the alarm.
The No.3 reactor is one of 2 being readied for a restart in line with a central government decision on Saturday.
The government has set up a special monitoring system with resident inspectors at the plant to deal promptly with possible accidents and problems.
But the disclosure of Tuesday’s incident came about 13 hours after the alarm went off.
Kansai Electric says it did not make the information public on Tuesday because the incident did not match levels requiring disclosure by law and in-house rules.
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency official Yasushi Morishita apologized at a news conference, saying his lapse in judgment caused the delayed disclosure.

TEPCO releases final report on Fukushima disaster
NHK
Jun. 20, 2012 – Updated 11:08 UTC (20:08 JST)
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has released the final report of its internal investigation into the crisis following the March 11 disaster last year.
[...]
But an NHK reporter says TEPCO still doesn’t know the extent of radioactivity that has been released since the start of the crisis, or how much damage the reactors suffered from the earthquake independent of the tsunami.
Transcript Excerpt
Tepco’s report [...] fails to pinpoint what caused the release of so much radioactive material [...]
No investigation so far has looked squarely at what caused the meltdowns. That task has been left to Tepco because many parts of Fukushima Daiichi are still off limits or difficult to access because of high radiation levels.
