Unit 4 of Genkai Nuclear Power Plant had gone offline on September 12, 2022 for its 15th periodic inspection. The required inspections have now been almost completed, as well as the realization of the Specific Safety Facilities and the permanent DC power supply system (third system). The reactor is scheduled to go back online and reach criticality on February 7, and resume power generation on February 9.

　After resuming power generation, the plant will undergo adjustment operations to confirm the function of individual components while gradually increasing power output, and is scheduled to return to commercial operation in the beginning of March 2023 after having completed an integrated performance test.

　We will continue to take all possible measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant.
