TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Kansai Electric Power Co. said Friday there is no indication that any active earthquake fault is connected to fracture zones below the company's Mihama nuclear power plant in western Japan.
The company has included the view in an interim report to the Nuclear Regulation Authority on the nine fracture zones that are feared to possibly move along with a nearby active earthquake fault and affect the plant's safety.
After a final report by Kansai Electric in late March, the NRA is expected to conduct an on-site inspection before giving a conclusion on the nuclear plant's safety.
The NRA plans to ban nuclear reactors above active earthquake faults and has subjected the Mihama facility in Fukui Prefecture and six other nuclear power plants in Japan to checks on faults.
