    Introduction and Main Conclusions Introduction

    INTRODUCTION AND MAIN CONCLUSIONS INTRODUCTION At the request of the government of Japan, an IAEA Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) of international experts visited units 6 and 7 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station from 29 June to 13 July 2015. The purpose of the mission was to review operating practices in the areas of Leadership and Management for Safety, Training and Qualification; Operations; Maintenance; Technical Support; Operating Experience; Radiation Protection including Post Accident Sampling; Emergency Planning and Preparedness and Severe Accident Management. In addition, an exchange of technical experience and knowledge took place between the experts and their plant counterparts on how the common goal of excellence in operational safety could be further pursued. Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power station is located almost at the centre of Niigata Prefecture between Kashiwazaki City and Kariwa Village on the coast of the Sea of Japan. The site covers an area of around 4.2 million square metres and is encircled by a hilly area of pine forest. Kashiwazaki city, to the south, has a population of approximately 92000 and Kariwa village, to the east, approximately 5000. There are seven units on the site; all operated by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), Units 1 to 5 are 1100 MWe BWR5 Reactors. Unit 1 has a Mark II containment vessel, units 2 to 5 have Mark II advanced containment vessels. Units 6 and 7 are 1356 MWe Advanced BWRs in ABWR containments. Units 1 to 5 were commissioned between 1985 and 1990, Unit 6 entered commercial operation in 1996 and Unit 7 in 1997.

Ground motion records for the area indicate the eŠects of a deep subsurface structure. Microtremor array observations were performed at three sites and gravity surveys at 120 sites in the Kashiwazaki area. The gravity basement estimated from the gravity surveys exists at a depth of about 1000 m around Kariwa Village Hall, and becomes shallow in the southwestern direction around Kashiwazaki City Hall. The gravity basement is compared with the results estimated by the microtremor array observations and validated at two sites, namely, KST and KVH (Kariwa Village Hall). The peak period of the calculated response spectra at Kashiwazaki Village Hall corresponds to the peak period of the observed H/V spectra during the main shock. Key words: (2007 Niigataken Chuetsu-oki Earthquake), earthquake, geophysical exploration, (gravity survey), microtremor, seismic response (IGC:C2) Yoshida et al., 2007) explain the reason for these peaks INTRODUCTION with combinations of the eŠects generated by the multi- The 2007 Niigataken Chuetsu-oki Earthquake (Mw 6.6) asperity source process, the subsurface structure, and struck the north central part of Japan on July 16, 2007, liquefaction.
