A careless telecommuter compounded the company’s woes after Japan was denied permission to restart work at the world’s largest nuclear power plant due to lapses in safety measures.

According to reports, Japan’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority decided last week to prevent the power station from restarting operations.

Tokyo Electric Power Co., which runs the nuclear power plant, said an employee placed documents on the roof of the vehicle before driving off.

According to foreign media, authorities discovered the negligence when a local resident found some documents related to fire and flood management, with the company still trying to find 38 pages.

According to foreign media, the employee and his manager were warned and TEPCO said it would ensure all staff followed strict rules on taking documents and information off site.
