Experts start investigation at Tsuruga plant over active faults

Experts appointed by Japan's nuclear regulatory body on Saturday started a field survey to check whether active faults are running directly underneath the reactors of Japan Atomic Power Co.'s Tsuruga plant on the Sea of Japan coast.

With a major active fault called Urazoko already confirmed to be located at about 250 meters from reactor buildings, it is feared that other faults running underneath the reactors could move in conjunction with the Urazoko fault.
