IAEA Invited to Send Follow-up Mission to Japan

11 January 2008 | The IAEA is to send a follow-up mission to Tokyo and 
the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant from 28 January-1 February 
2008, following an invitation from Japan´s Nuclear and Industrial 
Safety Agency (NISA).

The purpose of the mission is to build on the preliminary findings of 
an IAEA international team of experts that visited the plant 6-10 
August 2007, after the strong earthquake of 16 July 2007.

The 12 members of the follow-up mission will hold discussions with 
Japanese experts and conduct an examination at the site in relation to 
the seismic safety of its seven units. They will also be provided the 
results of studies and investigations conducted since the earthquake by 
the owners of the plant, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and 
NISA.

The Director General of the IAEA, Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, welcomed the 
invitation to undertake a follow-up mission and said that lessons 
learned from the continuing investigations will be shared with the 
international nuclear community.
