TABLE-Japan nuclear plant operations (Chubu shuts 1,267 MW)

TOKYO, Jan 6 (Reuters) - The table below shows the latest operational status
of Japan's nuclear power plants.

Chubu Electric Power Co manually shut its 1,267 megawatt Hamaoka No. 5
nuclear generator on Dec. 30 for an unplanned inspection, three days after
restarting it. The company still has not given a timetable for the unit's
restart. [ID:nT264857]

After the shutdown of the unit, 31,780 megawatts of nuclear power generation
capacity, or 64.4 percent of Japan's total, are in operation, according to
Reuters calculations.

Nine Japanese utilities and a wholesaler have 55 nuclear power generators
for commercial use, with a total generating capacity of 49,315 megawatts,
including Chubu Electric Power Co's No.1 and No.2 units that are slated for
decommissioning.

Chubu announced plans in December to scrap the No.1 and 2 nuclear reactors
at its sole Hamaoka plant and replace them with a new No. 6 reactor that will
have more capacity than the two reactors' combined 1,380 megawatts.

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency requires utilities to shut each
unit for inspections every 13 months.

In the table below, capacities are shown in megawatts. "P" represents a
planned regular inspection shutdown and "U" an unplanned shutdown.
