Regulator calls for replacing Monju reactor operator

Regulator calls for replacing Monju reactor operator

The Nuclear Regulation Authority holds a meeting in Tokyo on Nov. 13, 2015, to discuss the management of the Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor. The regulator urged the science minister to appoint a new entity to run the trouble-prone reactor, rather than leaving it to the government-backed Japan Atomic Energy Agency, to bolster safety management operations.
