| I |
The
role of guiding principles related to ensuring safety in the public
use of the Deep Underground |
| · |
Among the basic policies/measures (hereafter:
"Basic Policies") regarding the public use of the Deep Underground,
concrete guiding principles have been formulated related to ensuring
safety with respect to the collection and application of safety and
environmental information. |
| · |
Safety countermeasures related to criteria
formulated in the Basic Policies will be executed smoothly in an effort
to comply with the Basic Policies of the project. In addition, appropriate
procedures for authorization of use will be carried out with the goal
of contributing to the appropriate and rational application of the
use of the Deep Underground. |
| · |
Principles will be applied when project
operators examine measures to ensure safety and entities with the
right of authorizing use inspect usage authorization. |
| II |
Measures
for ensuring safty |
| · |
With respect to ensuring safety in the
Deep Underground, the following criteria prescribed in the Basic Policies
illustrate the approach to safety countermeasures and the measures
that need to be devised. |
| |
| 1) |
Fire / explosion |
| 2) |
Earthquake |
| 3) |
Flooding |
| 4) |
Power outage |
| 5) |
First aid / rescue operations |
| 6) |
Prevention of crime |
| 7) |
Elimination of sense of uneasiness
in underground facilities |
|
| · |
With respect to ensuring safety
in Deep Underground facilities, particularly in facilities that
may be used by an unspecified but large number of people, it
is important to aim to prevent human damage. |

With respect to specific measures and
techniques to ensure safety, it is important to make an adequate examination
of things that will be effective and beneficial in view of the scale
and characteristics of the danger / disaster while keeping in mind
the use, depth, and size of the various facilities. |
| · |
When safety measures are undertaken, it
is important in general to hypothesize the potential danger / disaster
and to show concrete measures to prevent it. |
| · |
Depending on project characteristics (whether
facilities are manned, unmanned, etc.), all projects should devise
measures to ensure safety, on the basis of such an approach to ensuring
safety. |
| III |
Collection
/ application of safety information |
| · |
Information in connection with the execution
of the project should be collected and processed in cooperation with
the national government, local public entities, and business operators,
and shared in an effort to make use of the information in projects. |
| · |
Safety measures should be established,
led by technological development and research according to the characteristics
of the Deep Underground in an effort to achieve greater safety in
the use of the Deep Underground. |
