Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) has postponed the use of a new nuclear fuel at a plant in Fukushima Prefecture because of forged inspection documents on similar fuel by a British company,and growing concerns about nuclear safety, officials said today. TEPCO President Nobuya Minami this morning told Fukushima Governor Eisaku Sato that the plutonium thermal (pluthermal) program would not be implemented as scheduled at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant.
