Q.Regarding nuclear power plant projects, how are checks for ensuring safety and so on, in the export, etc. of nuclear power generation-related materials and equipment, being carried out?

A.

When considering insurance coverage for projects, such as, exporting equipment and materials to nuclear power plants, NEXI requests that the Cabinet Office perform Confirmation on Due Considerations of Safety Measures, etc., in the corresponding project. The Cabinet Office checks that the export, etc. are carried out based on appropriate safety considerations from the perspective of safety, radioactive waste and nuclear accident measures so that the project will not lead to nuclear accident or inappropriate disposal of nuclear waste in the host country or region.
