Japan rejects IAEA help at nuclear plant - Kyodo
Sat Jul 21, 2007 11:28AM IST
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan has turned down an offer of help from the U.N. nuclear watchdog for the time being following last week's quake which damaged the world's biggest nuclear power plant, media reported on Saturday.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant was closed indefinitely after Monday's 6.8 magnitude quake in northwestern Japan caused radiation leaks. Ten people were killed by the quake and hundreds of houses were flattened.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), had offered to send in inspectors, urging Japan to share the lessons to be learned from the incident.
Kyodo news agency reported sources as saying Japanese nuclear safety authorities would work by themselves to deal with problems at the plant for the time being, but this left room for possibly seeking an IAEA inspection in the future.
Fears about the safety of the nuclear industry -- which supplies about one-third of Japan's electricity -- have been renewed by the leaks.
Television showed officials from Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the operator of the closed plant, meeting with a local government team at the plant on Saturday.
TEPCO has acknowledged that the tremor was stronger than the plant, whose first reactor came on stream more than 20 years ago, had been designed to withstand.

また、http://d.hatena.ne.jp/mojimoji/20070719/p1には「原子力問題」の纏めがある。とても参考になる。もうひとつ原発の問題をいえば、原発が需要の増減に合わせて臨機応変に発電量を調整することが（システムの不安定化を招くために）できないという（新自由主義者だったらひっぱたきたくなるくらい）フレクシビリティに欠けるシステムだということだろう。フル稼動かシャット・ダウンか。
ところで、世界最大の原発の運転再開の目処が立たず、この夏をどう乗り切るのか。当然、朝日新聞のセールス・プロモーションのイヴェントは中止だよね。
