Try this... http://www.nisa.meti.go.jp/english/resources/legislativeframework/files/EmergencyPreparedness.pdf for the whole document.Does anyone know what: "a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 has occurred." A bit cryptic but I am guessing melt of fuel
Basically, Article 15, Clause 1 describes that the Japanese Prime Minister must be advised when detected radiation exposure (i.e. a dose) exceeds a certain set value. Specific article quoted below.
Article 15 (1) In the case of falling under any of the following items, the competent minister shall, when he/she finds that a nuclear emergency situation has occurred, immediately report necessary information concerning the situation to
the Prime Minister, and submit a draft of a public notice under the provisions of the next paragraph and a draft of an instruction under the provisions of paragraph 3 to the Prime Minister:
(i) where the detected radiation dose pertaining to a notification which the competent minister has received pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of Article 10, paragraph 1 or the radiation dose detected at a radiation measurement facility and by a measuring method, both of which are specified by a Cabinet Order, exceeds the radiation dose specified by a Cabinet Order as the condition of an abnormal level of a radiation dose;
(ii) in addition to what is listed in the preceding item, where an event specified by a Cabinet Order as an event that indicates the occurrence of a nuclear emergency situation has occurred.
