Press Release Concerning a Schedule Change for the Tenth Shipment of Low-level Radioactive Waste

Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited

The shipment of Low-level Radioactive Waste (LLW) to the Low-level Radioactive Waste Disposal Centre scheduled for 24 March has been postponed to 29 March. The schedule change was necessitated by a loading delay caused by bad weather at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Unloading and receiving procedures are expected to take three days.
