Electronics maker Toshiba Corp. might have again falsified data on three coolant flow meters for a reactor at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co., in addition to one at the utility firm's Fukushima No. 1 power plant, government nuclear safety inspectors said Friday.
The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, an organization under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, said it received a report from Toshiba that it might have made the fabrication.
In late January, Tepco had announced that Toshiba, a key maker of nuclear power facilities in Japan, had falsified coolant flow meter data for the No. 6 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant in Fukushima Prefecture.
