Dear FOIA Officer,

I request the items below.

(1) All the emails and attached files since 2012 which contains the term “Sendai” or “Takahama”, between the DOE and Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Committee.

(2) All the emails and attached files since 2012 which contains the term “Sendai” , between the DOE and Kyushu Power Electronic company (九州電力) ,the operator of Sendai nuclear power plant.

(3) All the emails and attached files since 2012 which contains the term “Sendai” , between the DOE and Kansai Power Electronic company (関西電力) ,the operator of Sendai nuclear power plant.

FYI, Sendai is a nuclear power plant expected to restart operation and the Takahama would be the next one.

This is FOIA is aimed at mainly public goods.

I request Full fee waiver and prior expedite procedure. For I am a news media representative widely read in nuclear policy topics and the information expected to be released shall contribute public understanding of U.S. government activity. We have Japanese and English pages.

Your agencies evaluation on how those NUKE plants contribute the energy supply and affect the national securities of both U.S. and Japanese shal have a great value.

Actually, the past Fukkushima event taught us 2 lessons.

Firstly, the very day 3.12, 2011, your deputy secretary Mr. Poneman and Japanese AEC Chairman Mr. Shunsuke Kondo have communicated keenly on the wind direction, according to USNRC FOIA document, which have a huge effect of US Gov’t measure in the event. And also, if emergency event can happen, then it is highly probable US Federal Families including DOE have to tackle the accident with Japanese operators/government.

Warmest Regards ,

Takanori Eto
