Operating experience of Genkai nuclear power plant
The Genkai Nuclear Power Station Unit 1, owned by the Kyushi Electric Power Co. and the 8th lightwater reactor (LWR) in Japan, commenced commercial operation on Oct. 15, 1975 and has achieved the longest (243 days) continued operating record of the LWR in Japan in the first cycle. After 14,350 MWD/t of average burn up was attained, the first annual inspection and refueling was performed satisfactorily as planned during the 86 days outage period--from Oct. 31, 1976 to Jan. 24, 1977. Now the unit is generating full power of 559 MW. A summary of the operating experience of the unit from the commencement of operation is briefly described in this report. The experience gained at this station will ensure the reliability and safety of future nuclear power plants.
