Compiling Mihama fault probe results delayed

NAGOYA, Japan - A team from the Nuclear Regulation Authority examines earth layers near the No. 3 reactor of Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Mihama nuclear power plant in the town of Mihama, Fukui Prefecture, in December 2013. KEPCO appears to have given up on completing a conclusive report on the fault lines by the April 2014 deadline and submission of the report to the NRA is also expected to be delayed, a source familiar with the matter told Kyodo News on April 23, 2014.
