Conditions for nuclear regulatory body official
The Japanese government has decided that anyone with close ties to the nuclear industry will be excluded from a new regulatory body to be set up in September.

The new commission will consist of a chairperson and 4 experts. The experts will specialize in nuclear reactors or earthquakes.

The government's guidelines forbid anyone taking a commission post if they have worked for utilities, reactor makers or other nuclear-related businesses in the past 3 years.
