The Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) is accusing the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) of violating anti-terror laws, regarding the protection of nuclear material.

The JAEA runs the fast breeder Monju reactor: “The violations included the lack of background checks on visitors to Monju, and the lack of regular inspections over the past 3 years of a device that records vehicle and personnel entry into the compound……members of the Nuclear Regulation Authority said that such neglect at a plutonium handling facility is unprecedented.“-Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation

The NRA says the lax nuke reactor security is inherent in the way the JAEA is organized.
