Papers left on car roof may keep world’s biggest nuclear plant shut
A week after Japanese regulators postponed the restart of the world’s biggest nuclear power plant due to safety lapses, a careless employee working from home added to the company’s woes.
Tokyo Electric Power, which operates the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan’s Niigata prefecture, said an employee placed a stack of documents on top of a car before driving off and losing them.
The mishap is the latest in a string of mistakes for the utility and is likely to further erode the regulator’s confidence in Tepco.
