After operating until December 2010, JRR-4 was under periodical self-inspection for the next operation. After that, it suffered from the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. But it recovered almost a year later. However, we determined to decommission JRR-4 in September 2013. After that, we received the approval of the decommissioning plan of JRR-4 on June 7, 2017. And we received the approval of the change of the safety regulations related to it. Subsequently JRR-4 was shifted to decommission phase in December 2017.
