Reactor: Due to implemented safety measure (power supply car etc), cliff edge will shift from LOOP to RPV damage
SFP: EDG failure can be covered by power supply car. However, margin of EDG is larger than that of MUW (alternative SFP injection) . Thereby, cliff edge stay unchanged.

Other Issues for Improving Safety
• Development of instrumentation resistant to severe accident condition
• Diversification of cooling function without AC power
• Reorganization of emergency response and operation staffing to deal with prolonged accident
• Establishment of transportation base for emergency material and staffing near plant
63
We are committed to improve the safety of the nuclear power plant through comprehensive safety assessment (Stress Test) and lessons learned from Fukushima Daiichi Accident.
For TEPCO, stress test is an opportunity to identify and address weakness of plants.
