8. (U) While the October symposium did not fully examine safety concerns about pluthermal technology, experts are split on the issue. Opponents argued that MOX fuel is inherently unstable and that the reprocessed rods are prone to breakage, thereby increasing the likelihood of accidents.

1. (SBU) Summary. On November 15, EmbOffs visited the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station on the western coast of Japan, operated by TEPCO. Embassy staff were provided a tour of unit 6, one of two Advanced Boiling Water Reactors (ABWR) onsite. In addition to a general description of the facility operations, TEPCO reps provided an update on the physical protection systems onsite and changes in recent years to enhance the security infrastructure. ‐End Summary.
---------------------------- General Facility Information ----------------------------
2. (SBU) Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station has 7 Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs)--two of which are advanced BWRs (ABWRs)--with the total power generating capacity of 8,212 MWe. This is the largest power station in the world. The station is located in the Niigata Prefecture on the coast of the Sea of Japan. Fresh fuel arrives onsite approximately 4-5 times per year. Low-level waste is stored on-site for a period of a few years, and then shipped to Rokkasho for reprocessing.
3. (C) TEPCO reps noted that INFCIRC/225/Rev. 4 required changes to their physical protection systems. As a result, the facility operators established two protection areas around units 1-4 and 5-7. They noted that there is only one entry gate onto the site, through which all pedestrian and vehicular traffic is checked. The operator has installed a police vehicle on-site 24/7 with armed guards (installed after 9/11). Additionally, a police patrol (also armed) is conducted around the outer perimeter, which spans 4.2 sq km. On the coastal side, the Coast Guard is now stationed right at shore--a new development since October 2005, following the new physical protection amendments. Communications have been established between the police guards and the Coast Guard. Training exercises are conducted with the local police approximately twice per year. To date, no exercises have been held between the police and the Coast Guard, though they expect to begin such exercises in the near future.

4. (C) TEPCO noted that the 2005 physical protection amendments (iaw INFCIRC/225/Rev. 4) required TEPCO to address increased physical protection measures, and while the Coast Guard repositioning is a new development, most of their physical protection systems were already in place. They demonstrated their access control systems for personnel and vehicular traffic, including a double-fence perimeter, defined protection areas, motion sensors connected to cameras along the outer perimeter, identity checks and biometrics monitors. The site also has developed (or is developing) a design-basis threat (DBT), and is still considering other physical protection measures, including plans for 24/7 security surveillance around the outer perimeter and along each of the protection areas.
5. (SBU) Finally, the TEPCO reps stated that while they are not currently involved with Japan,s national emergency drill conducted annually by the Cabinet Office, they plan to conduct similar emergency drills at the local level with authorities and residents in the surrounding area. The frequency of such emergency drills remains to be decided.
1. (U) SUMMARY. Sapporo Conoffs recently visited the town of Tomari, home to Hokkaido's only nuclear power facility. As a new nuclear reactor there that will be capable of burning mixed plutonium-uranium oxide (MOX) fuel prepares to come online, the community continues to benefit from subsidies and special attention from the Government of Japan and the Hokkaido Electric Power Company. With aversion to nuclear power facilities at new sites a concern, Japanese planners instead look towards communities like Tomari with existing nuclear facilities for opportunities to build advanced reactors. Such communities tend to be more willing to accept financial incentives for new reactors, especially as subsidy levels on existing reactors decline. END SUMMARY.
NUCLEAR POLITICS IN ACTION IN HOKKAIDO ---------------------------------------
2. (U) Nuclear power is a central part of the Government of Japan (GOJ)'s strategy for meeting Japan's growing energy needs while simultaneously reducing carbon dioxide emissions. A network of 53 conventional nuclear reactors currently supplies 30 percent of Japan's energy needs. Over the next few years, the GOJ plans to introduce plutonium-thermal power generation at new and existing reactors whereby mixed plutonium-uranium oxide fuel (MOX) will be burned for power generation. The use of MOX, which is made from reprocessed spent fuel, is a step towards a closed nuclear energy cycle since Japan will be able to recycle some nuclear waste material when producing MOX.

--Summary--
1. (C) On November 27, the GOJ conducted a one-day large-scale drill to respond to a potential act of nuclear terrorism under the auspices of the Protection of Citizens Law or PCL. The drill focused on the Mihama Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) that is located on the Sea of Japan coast in Fukui Prefecture. The staged attack and the subsequent events were all part of the first ever on-site drill conducted by the GOJ under the PCL, which sets into place measures that all levels of government are required to take to protect Japan's citizens when attacked by a foreign country or responding to a large-scale terrorist attack. The drill involved nearly 2,000 participants that included government officials, police, Self-Defense Forces, industry employees and local residents. Because the drill focused primarily on evacuating local residents and strengthening the emergency response system, all available information indicated that there was no component to the drill resembling a Force-on-Force (FoF) exercise. The drill itself went very smoothly, as the actions that various officials were required to take were listed down to the finest detail with no surprises thrown in. Several nuclear emergency officials commented that this made the exercise a bit unrealistic.
At 0800 a siren sounded throughout the area warning local residents of the emergency in Mihama. (Note: Neither ESToff nor any of his companions were able to hear the siren in Tsuruga City -- it turns out the drill was conducted on the SIPDIS assumption that a siren was sounded in the area).
7. (C) Registered observers including ESToff -- the only non-Japanese participant observing the activities -- were shuttled back and forth by buses to observe the various parts of the drill, though access was not granted to the plant controlled areas themselves. ESToff was unable to confirm firsthand whether the unarmed security force at the plant actually went through the motions of protecting the plant from the terrorists. Because the drill focused primarily on evacuating local residents and strengthening the emergency response system, all available information indicated that there was no component to the drill resembling the Force-on-Force (FoF) exercises conducted in the United States. Local residents not directly participating in the drill seemed to continue their regular daily routines and tourists visiting the area did not appear to be alarmed by the visible SDF presence. Roadblocks for the drill were mostly placed off to the side of roads in what appeared to be an effort by police to not impose the drill on non-participants.
“The Japanese have a unique situation. I don't know why they build their plants in seismic zones. The whole of Japan is a seismic zone,”AFP quoted Putin as saying on Saturday during a meeting of physicists in Penza, south of the capital Moscow.
The Russian premier said he thought that Japanese authorities should have quickly supplied the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant with extra power to pump water and cool it down.
“They should have brought in new power generators from other areas of the country in time, but they did not and that's what caused problems,” Putin said in a speech published on his official site.
“And you know, these are old facilities, American reactors dating back to the 1970s,” he added.
Radiation leaks at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have sparked new concerns over the potential risks of nuclear power.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has criticized Japan's nuclear industry for poor handling of the Fukushima disaster and the building of nuclear power plants in seismic zones.
“The Japanese have a unique situation. I don't know why they build their plants in seismic zones. The whole of Japan is a seismic zone,” AFP quoted Putin as saying on Saturday during a meeting of physicists in Penza, south of the capital Moscow.

Radiation leaks at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have sparked new concerns over the potential risks of nuclear power.
On March 11, an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, off the northeast coast of Japan's main island, unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours.
The twin disasters have claimed the lives of more than 28.000 people.
The quake is now considered Japan's deadliest natural disaster since the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, which claimed the lives of more than 142,000 people.
Russia currently hosts 10 nuclear stations whose 32 reactors produced 169.4 billion kilowatts in 2010.
Asked about the DoE's Savannah River Site (SRS) and the potential market price for separated plutonium used from mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, Moniz said: "Our MOX project has got nothing to do with our reprocessing at this stage; this is about disposal of the 34 tonnes and on that we remain in a dialogue with in the Administration and with Congress in terms of whether that is in fact going to be the path forward."
In 2000, the United States and Russia signed a bilateral agreement stipulating that each country would commit to eliminating 34 tonnes of surplus military plutonium produced during the Cold War by recycling it as fuel for civil nuclear applications. In 2008, the DoE made an agreement with a joint venture created by the Areva and Shaw groups for the construction of a MOX fuel production plant. The decision was made to build one plant on the Savannah River site, in Aiken, South Carolina, as part of the American plutonium recycling program.
SRS is also home to the Savannah River National Laboratory and the USA's only operating radiochemical separations facility. Its tritium facilities are also the USA's only source of tritium, an essential component in nuclear weapons. The USA's only MOX manufacturing plant is being constructed at SRS overseen by the National Nuclear Security Administration. When operational, the MOX facility will convert legacy weapons-grade plutonium into fuel suitable for commercial power reactors.
"The only issue is can we afford it, given the substantial escalation in cost since this was put forward," Moniz said. "We have argued that this would be a good time to evaluate all the pathways in terms of what we can do. That in turn would involve discussions with Russia as well but that’s all in play and when the fiscal year 2015 budget is hopefully, eventually passed by the Congress that will do a lot in terms of congressional intent with regard to that path forward."
In the global arena, commercial reprocessing of MOX is being done in France and potentially in Japan, for example.
"Our issue is that first of all, and we've it made pretty clear, we are not interested, or supportive frankly, certainly in the United States, of moving forward with a MOX fuel cycle, quite distinct from disposing of the military sources. On the other hand, we certainly understand Japan's desire to move forward," he said.
"A major concern that we have, and the Japanese have this as a policy, is we do not have accumulation of separated plutonium beyond what is in some sense the working amount for MOX. Clearly in Japan, if and when a significant number of nuclear reactors are restarted, well, by definition, there will not be an end use for the MOX until that happens."
Ask not what False Japanese Government will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Where there's a will, there's a way and Surely peace comes in the world !!
