Status of the Ishikawa Prefecture Monitoring System
2000/1/1 11:01
The Ishikawa Prefecture Monitoring System, which was established in the area surrounding the Unit One Shika Nuclear Reactor of Hokuriku Electric Co., Ltd. in Ishikawa Prefecture, to measure radiation in the air and then inform local government, had a technical disruption.
The system is now able to collect and monitor data, but unable to transmit the data to the adequate monitoring center of local government. It is not yet confirmed that this incident was caused by Y2K. In any case, this system consists of monitoring radiation level from outside of the Nuclear Reactor, and the disruption in question does not affect normal function of the Reactor.
