TOKYO (AP) — "Japan’s #nuclear watchdog said Wednesday it is scrapping the safety screening for two reactors at the #HamaokaNuclearPowerPlant in central Japan, after its operator was found to have fabricated data about #earthquake risks.
"It was a setback to Japan’s attempts to accelerate nuclear reactor restarts. Less than a quarter of commercial nuclear reactors are operational in the wake of the 2011 #FukushimaDaiichi meltdowns, but rising energy costs and pressure to reduce carbon emissions have pushed the government to prioritize nuclear power.
"#ChubuElectricPowerCo. had applied for safety screening to resume operations at the No. 3 and 4 reactors at the Hamaoka plant in 2014 and 2015. Two other reactors at the plant are being decommissioned, and a fifth is idle.
"The plant, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of #Tokyo, is located on a coastal area known for potential risks from so-called #NankaiTrough #megaquakes."

Japanese watchdog halts nuclear reactor review over faulty seismic data
Japan's nuclear watchdog is scrapping the safety screening for two reactors at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant. The operator, Chubu Electric Power Co., was found to have fabricated data about earthquake risks. It was a setback for Japan's efforts to restart nuclear reactors. Less than a quarter of commercial reactors are operational following the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The Nuclear Regulation Authority began an investigation last February after a whistleblower's tip. The regulator confirmed the falsification and suspended the screening. Public opinion remains divided due to lingering safety concerns after Fukushima.
