South China Regional Office completes pre-critical nuclear safety inspection for Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant overhaul

From September 14 to 17, the South China Regional Office of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (hereinafter referred to as the South China Regional Office) organized an inspection team to conduct a pre-critical nuclear safety inspection of Unit 5 of Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant for its sixth refueling overhaul (Y506 overhaul). This inspection was jointly carried out by the Nuclear Facility Business Division and the newly established Operation Special Division, adopting an organizational model of two-division coordination and complementary expertise to systematically verify the safety status of the unit after refueling and before criticality, thereby safeguarding the critical juncture for the safe startup of the unit. The criticality of the unit after overhaul is a link in the nuclear safety management chain where risks are highly concentrated. With core refueling and loading completed, and maintenance, modification, and periodic testing items concluding in a concentrated manner, equipment status, personnel operations, and operational decisions converge at this point. The South China Regional Office closely focused on the core proposition of "whether the unit truly possesses the conditions for safe operation," concentrating on key contents such as operating limits and conditions, availability of safety-important items, confirmation of post-maintenance equipment status and periodic test results, closed-loop rectification of outstanding issues from the previous overhaul, and handling of abnormal conditions, insisting on item-by-item verification and one-by-one clearance to ensure that no doubts are carried forward and no loose ends are left.

Unit 2 of Japan's Shimane Nuclear Power Plant Completes Periodic Inspection and Resumes Commercial Operation After About 7 Months

The Chugoku Electric Power Company (Japanese: 中国電力株式会社), a large integrated electric power company responsible for supplying electricity to 5 prefectures in the Chugoku region of western Honshu, Japan, announced on September 16 that Unit 2 of the Shimane Nuclear Power Plant has successfully completed the periodic inspection that began in February this year and officially resumed commercial operation on the 16th, returning to power supply after about 7 months. According to Chugoku Electric Power's estimate, in the overall power source mix, nuclear power generation will account for about 15% of the company's total power generation for this fiscal year, and this level of generation is expected to meet about 60% of the electricity demand of the two San'in prefectures. In addition, since Unit 2 of the Shimane Nuclear Power Plant has reached 37 years since it began commercial operation, Chugoku Electric Power also collected, during this periodic inspection, data used as the basis for assessing the "special inspection" required for future extended operation beyond the standard service period (exceeding the 40-year operating limit).
