Due to data fraud in materials provided by the Central Japan Electric Power Company during the nuclear power plant restart review, the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission denounced the company's arbitrary data manipulation on the 7th and decided to continue the relevant review work. The Central Japan Electric Power Company admitted on the 5th that in order for units 3 and 4 of the Hamaoka nuclear power plant it operates to pass the review and restart, the company is suspected of manipulating relevant data and deliberately underestimating the maximum destructive force of a possible earthquake. According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency, the incident came to light because the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission received an “external notification,” and the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission began suspending relevant review work in December 2025.
