About a third of the 180 monitoring cameras installed at the experimental Monju fast-breeder reactor were found broken during a safety inspection last month, a source familiar with the matter said, renewing concerns about safety management at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, which runs it.

In May 2013, the Nuclear Regulation Authority effectively shuttered the reactor on the Sea of Japan coast in Fukui Prefecture after discovering that over 10,000 pieces of equipment had not been properly inspected. (Kyodo)
