Chubu Electric president to resign following nuclear data scandal, Nikkei says
Chubu Electric president to resign following nuclear data scandal, Nikkei says TOKYO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The president of Japan's Chubu Electric Power 9502.T is due to resign after the firm was found to have submitted falsified seismic data in its application to restart the Hamaoka nuclear power plant, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Sunday.
The resignations of President Kingo Hayashi and Chairman Satoru Katsuno are due to be announced on Monday, and Minoru Yasui, who is currently a director, will become president, the Nikkei said.
Chubu's Hamaoka plant, in central Japan, was undergoing a safety review to restart its nuclear reactors, but Japan's nuclear watchdog suspended its review after the scandal.
Separately, Chubu said last month that it had altered documents submitted to Japan's nuclear decommissioning fund manager in relation to the No. 1 and No. 2 plants at the Hamaoka site, which are currently being dismantled.
