The application for permission for a change in reactor installation regarding Specific Safety Facilities (SSFs) of Sendai nuclear power station unit No.2 was accepted on April 5^th 2017.
Applications for approval of construction planning will be submitted separately as below like unit No.1.

　Today, we submitted to NRA the application for approval of construction planning regarding “1. Facilities installed in a reactor subsidiary building” that will be implemented in a periodic inspection.

　This is because that SSFs will have to be installed within the time required by laws, so construction needs to be implemented efficiently. Also the application for approval of construction planning regarding “2. Newly installed buildings” and “3. Newly installed facilities” will be submitted as soon as we get prepared.

　We will make an effort to deal with the NRA’s inspections respectfully and sincerely, as well as to improve safety and reliability of nuclear power stations.

※SSFs
　They have a function to prevent damages of containment vessel. They are preparation in case cooling functions for nuclear reactor stop and a reactor core gets fatal damages due to terrorism such like an intentional collision of jumbo airplane toward a reactor support building.
