The Japan News reported that Kyushu Electric Power Co (TYO:9508) will delay the planned increase in output at its Sendai Unit 1 reactor as it believes seawater has entered into the cooling system.

The Japan News reported that Kyushu Electric Power Co (TYO:9508) will delay the planned increase in output at its Sendai Unit 1 reactor as it believes seawater has entered into the cooling system. The company said that continuing to operate the reactor at the current capacity won’t cause any issues.
As quoted in the market news:
The company planned to bring the recently reactivated reactor in southwestern Japan to full capacity on Tuesday. But this will be delayed, because it will take about a week to fix the problem, Kyushu Electric officials said.
A small amount of seawater is believed to have flowed into one of the three condensers in the reactor’s secondary cooling system, the officials said. Condensers turn steam into water by cooling it, after the steam runs through power generation turbines.
But there should be no problem in continuing the reactor’s operation as the salt is removed through desalination equipment, the officials added.
The level of electric conductivity, which is monitored to check water conditions, rose on Thursday afternoon at an outlet of a condensate pump used to circulate secondary coolant water.
Kyushu Electric checked the water and confirmed an increase in salt content.
