  • 1. Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., Osaka (Japan)

Description

Among the pressurized water reactors of Kansai Electric Power Co., Reactor Mihama No. 2 (500 MWe), No. 3 (826 MWe), Takahama No. 1 and No. 2 (both with 826 MWe) have now been operated since Reactor Mihama No. 1 (340 MWe) was first operated in Nov. 1970. Oi No. 1 and No. 2 (both with 1175 MWe) are scheduled to start operation during 1978. No engineer has been exposed excessively so far but very strict control is carried out to prevent excess exposure in the future. The statistics of exposed condition for 6 years in operation investigated by the film badge were analyzed by the computer. The records of pressurized water reactors in USA examined to make future guide for radioactive ray control. (Kobatake, H.)
