【《日本原子》1984年1月号第36页报道】据日本原子工业公会调查,同1982年一样,日本25座核电站1983年的平均容量因子及平均可利用因子都保持在70%以上。日本每年对每座核电站都进行为期3—4个月的定期检查。这说明,达到70%的年平均容量因子实际上是完全可能的。日本连续两年获得平均容量因子70%,说明日本的核能发电在可靠性方面已取得了明显的改进。日本通产省和电力界对此成绩感到骄 [Japan Atom] January 1984, p. 36. According to a survey conducted by the Japan Atomic Energy Society, as in 1982, the average capacity factor and average utilization factor of Japan’s 25 nuclear power plants remained at 70% or higher in 1983. Every year, Japan conducts periodic inspections for every nuclear power plant for 3-4 months. This shows that achieving an annual average capacity factor of 70% is actually entirely possible. Japan obtained an average capacity factor of 70% for two consecutive years, indicating that Japan’s nuclear power generation has achieved significant improvements in reliability. Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Power Industry are proud of this achievement
