We sincerely express our apologies for great inconvenience and worry caused by our nuclear power plant accident to the people in the area near the power plant as well as the people in the entire society.
Today the Prime Minister declared the cancellation of nuclear emergency situation at Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station.
With regard to Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station, the declaration of nuclear emergency situation was issued on March 12, 2011 in accordance with article 15, clause 1 of Act on Special Measures Concerning Nuclear Emergency Preparedness. However, as a result of countermeasures taken against emergency situation, all the units reached the state of cold shutdown by March 15.
Then we have made every effort in keeping the stable cold shutdown by multiplexing heat removal and cooling facilities. We consider that these efforts led to the cancellation of emergency situation.
We would like to express our gratitude to all the people who supported us.
Hereafter, in accordance with the restoration plan based on Act on Special Measures Concerning Nuclear Emergency Preparedness, we will achieve further stabilization of the plant through restoring the facilities for keeping cold shutdown.
