After having experienced the Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake, The Tokyo Electric 
Power Company, Inc. (TEPCO) made changes in its organization to strengthen its 
capability of responding to any future disaster as follows:

○ Establishment of the "Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake Restoration Management 
   Center".

TEPCO has established the "Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake Restoration Management 
Center" in the Nuclear Asset Management Department as of October 15, 2007.
TEPCO has not only executed inspection and restoration works for the equipment 
in Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station, but also made geological surveys 
around the Power Station, analyzed the seismic observation data which were 
collected on and around the site when the Earthquake occurred, and inspected 
the seismic safety of the equipment important in terms of safety.
In the Head Office, mainly the departments in the Nuclear Power and Plant Siting 
Division had performed these tasks and supported the Power Station. The 
"Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake Restoration Management Center" was established 
to integrate all the functions of the Head Office in order to further improve 
the quality and safety.
The Nuclear Power Station and the Head Office, especially the 
"Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake Restoration Management Center", will work 
together to actively execute inspection and restoration works for the equipment 
and review the seismic safety of the equipment.

○ Strengthening of the Disaster Preparedness System for Nuclear Power Plants

In TEPCO´s nuclear power plants, mainly the departments concerned respond to 
natural disasters such as typhoon and fire, or otherwise taken emergency 
measures against any nuclear accident such as the release of radioactive 
materials. Aiming at the realization of "nuclear power plants invulnerable to 
any disaster", TEPCO decided to establish a uniform disaster preparedness system 
for its nuclear power plants within the 2007 fiscal year. 
The "Disaster Preparedness and Safety Group" has been established as of October 
15th within the Nuclear Power Plant Management Department in order to prepare 
for the above measures.
