Regarding the setting of 凱旋門 賞 武豊 basis earthquake ground motions, we presented plans to take into account the rupture of multiple fault segments, namely FO-A, FO-B, and Kumagawa, and setting the depth of the upper edge of the faults to 3 kilometers below ground level. Based on these plans, we explained that the 凱旋門 賞 武豊 basis earthquake ground motion would be 700 gal*1 for Takahama Nuclear Power Station (NPS), 856 gal for 凱旋門 賞 武豊 NPS, and 993 gal for Mihama NPS.

Following a review, a license was issued on February 12, 2015 for Takahama, October 5, 2016 for Mihama, and May 24, 2017 for 凱旋門 賞 武豊.

Investigation of the F-6 Fracture Zone in the Site of 凱旋門 賞 武豊 Nuclear Power Station
We excavated a trench within the site area to visually examine potential geological variations.

Trench surveys, in which trenches are dug to confirm the existence of geological displacements, and boring surveys were implemented in the 凱旋門 賞 武豊 NPS site to verify that the F-6 fracture zone is not an active fault.

An approx. 70m long, 50 wide and up to 40m deep trench was excavated and it was confirmed that the crush zone was not an active fault.
