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
pre-planned tests.
The unit began generating power on August 31, and is keeping constant operation at
rated thermal output. We have performed pre-planned system functional tests (3 items),
and confirmed operating status to be satisfactory by September 18, 2009.
Based on the results of the tests, we will continue operating at constant rated thermal
output and will monitor the operating status of plant continuously, and will evaluate
the results of functional tests for the entire plant finally.
We will disclose test evaluation results accordingly.
