The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station Unit No.6 (ABWR: 1,356MW) had been shut
down since the Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake occurred on July 16, 2007. On August 25,
2009, we started a series of functional tests for the entire plant, and are performing
the pre-planned tests.
We re-started the generation on August 31, 2009. Keeping the generating power at approx.
75% of the rated output, we have performed various pre-planned tests by 10:30 a.m. of
September 6, and confirmed these results to be satisfactory.
Based on these results of the tests, we will raise the generating power to approx. 100%
of the rated output. Then we will perform the pre-planned tests carefully.
We will disclose test evaluation results accordingly.
