Pipe that caused nuke accident wasn't inspected in 28 years
A ruptured pipe responsible for a nuclear power plant accident here that killed four people and left seven with burns had not been inspected for 28 years despite being an important part, it has been learned.
Even though the plant's operator, Kansai Electric Power Co. (KEPCO), was notified in November last year that the part needed to be inspected, it failed to implement safety measures ahead of tests scheduled for Aug. 14.

And it operated for a 9 months or more after being written up? Gee, maybe a return visit after 30 days would have been a good idea!
