Based on the internal inspection of the steam boiler which confirmed one pipe from which steam leaked and another damaged neighboring pipe in the 4th stage superheater, J-POWER replaced those damaged pipes. After additional investigation of pipes in nearby or similar places and replacement of ten pipes as measures for preventing similar accidents, J-POWER resumed operation of the unit at 7:03 am on Thursday, January 7.
J-POWER intends to continue to take all possible measures for maintenance and management of the facilities and the stable operation of the power stations.
