- Japanese regulators will discuss suspected data manipulation related to earthquake safety assessments at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant.
- Chubu Electric Power Company may have intentionally selected data to minimize the predicted impact of earthquakes on the plant’s reactors.
- Evaluations for restarting the reactors have been suspended due to concerns about the reliability of the presented data.

A: Hey! Did you hear about something crazy happening with a power plant?

B: No way! What's up?

A: Apparently, Chubu Electric Power might have messed up earthquake data for the Hamaoka plant.

B: Seriously? How could they do that?

A: They're saying they *might* have chosen data to make it seem like earthquakes wouldn’t be as strong.

B: Wow! That's a big deal. The Nuclear Regulation Authority got a tip last year, right?

A: Exactly! They started looking into it. It looks like the reactors were approved, but now…

B: What happened now?

A: They’re stopping the review process. They can't trust the data anymore.

B: Oh no! So, the reactors aren’t going back online anytime soon?

A: Probably not. They need to figure out what happened and make sure everything is safe.

B: That’s really worrying. Hope they get it sorted out quickly.
