[New fuel]

new fuel list
Reactor	Number of shipments	Number of assemblies transported
No. 1	28	2,390
No. 2	29	3,659
No. 3	26	4,208
No. 4*1	17	3,100
No. 5	7	1,442
Total	107 (102) *2	14,799

(Note1)The figures for Reactor 4 include a shipment of MOX fuel (one shipment, 28 assemblies).

(Note2)The total number of times fuel was transported to Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station was 102 (in parentheses) because some shipments were for two reactors simultaneously (Nos. 1 and 2, Nos. 1 and 3, Nos. 1 and 4 (two times) and Nos. 2 and 5).

[Spent fuel]

Reactor	Number of shipments	Number of assemblies transported
No. 1	28	1,646
No. 2	29	1,960
No. 3	9	1,190
No. 4	2	312
No. 5	0	0
Total	68 (65) *3	5,108

(Note3)The total number of times fuel was transported from Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station was 65 ( in parentheses) because some shipments were for two reactors or to two destinations simultaneously (Nos. 1 and 2 to England, No. 1 to England and France, and Nos. 3 and 4 to Rokkasho, Aomori Prefecture).

2. Spent fuel assemblies stored in spent fuel pool

As of February 28, 2014
Reactor	Equipment capacity (assemblies)	Number of assemblies to be loaded in reactor (assemblies)	Maximum storage capacity (assemblies)	Number in storage (assemblies)
No. 1	740		740	0
No. 2*1	1,820		1,820	0
No. 3*2	3,134	764	2,370	2,060
No. 4*2	3,120	764	2,356	1,977
No. 5*2	3,696	872	2,824	2,538
Total			10,110 (7,550) *3	6,575

(Note1) The fuel pool at Unit 2 stores 148 unused fuel assemblies to be removed next fiscal year.
(These are not included in the storage volume shown in the table.)

(Note2) The fuel pools at Units 3 - 5 stores 312 unused fuel assemblies (56 assemblies at Unit 3, 40 assemblies at Unit 4 (including MOX fuel) and 216 assemblies at Unit 5).
(These are not included in the storage volume shown in the table.)

(Note3) There is no plan of storing spent fuel at Units 1 & 2 in the future. Units 3 - 5 can store up to 7,550 assemblies (in parentheses ).

The equipment capacity is the number of assemblies that can be (physically) accepted by the equipment.

The number of assemblies in storage is the number of assemblies of spent fuel actually stored in the spent fuel pool. Spent fuel assemblies being loaded into a transportation cask at the time of data aggregation are included in the storage figure for the reactor unit they were in before removal.

The reactor is in operating status when the number of assemblies in storage is lower than the maximum storage capacity obtained by subtracting the number of assemblies to be loaded in the reactor from the equipment capacity.

[Maximum storage capacity = (Equipment capacity) - (Number of assemblies to be loaded in reactor)]

3. Low-level radioactive waste in storage

As of February 28, 2014
Solid-waste repository	Storage capacity	Number of drums in storage
No. 1	Equivalent of 7,000	Equivalent of 3,616
No. 2	Equivalent of 35,000	Equivalent of 31,285
Total	Equivalent of 42,000	Equivalent of 34,901
