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.
