(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).

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)]
