Major Inspections and Work Performed During Regular スポーツベッティング投資 at Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station Reactor No. 4
(1) Major inspections
a. Reactor
スポーツベッティング投資 of reactor pressure vessel, structures inside reactor and fuel
b. Reactor cooling system equipment
スポーツベッティング投資 of pipes, heat exchangers, pumps and valves
c. Measurement and control system equipment
スポーツベッティング投資 of control rod drive hydraulic control system; スポーツベッティング投資 and calibration of various measurement devices
d. Radiation control equipment
スポーツベッティング投資 and calibration of various radiation control measurement devices
e. Reactor containment equipment
Seal testing of reactor building, containment equipment
f. Steam turbines
Overhaul スポーツベッティング投資 of steam turbine equipment; disassembly and スポーツベッティング投資 of main valves; スポーツベッティング投資 of auxiliary equipment
g. Other
スポーツベッティング投資 of scrapped equipment, fuel equipment, emergency backup generator equipment, electrical equipment, etc.
(2) Major work and construction
a. Some of the total 764 fuel assemblies will be replaced (the number of the assemblies to be replaced is under consideration).
b. Work will continue on the construction of tsunami countermeasures*1 reflecting findings obtained from sources including studies of the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc.'s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station as a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake. As part of this work, during the periodic スポーツベッティング投資 of the facility, an emergency seawater intake system (EWS) will be connected to the existing seawater cooling system equipment.
c. The soundness of the cylinder liners*2 of the emergency diesel generators will be checked.
d. As a measure to prevent reoccurrence of damage to main condenser tubes in Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station Unit No. 5, any structures in which it is considered that the same phenomenon might occur will be subject to replacement work.
