Below is major impact to TEPCO's facilities due to the Miyagiken-Oki 
Earthquake that occurred yesterday at 2:46PM.
*new items are underlined
 
[Nuclear Power Station]
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station:
 Units 1 to 3: shutdown due to earthquake
 Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspection
* The national government has instructed evacuation for those local 
residents within 10km radius of the periphery.
* The value of radioactive material (iodine, etc) is increasing according
to the monitoring car at the site (outside of the site). One of the
monitoring posts is also indicating higher than normal level.  
* Since the amount of radiation at the boundary of the site exceeds the
limits, we decide at 4:17PM and we have reported and/or noticed the
government agencies concerned to apply the clause 1 of the Article 15 of
the Radiation Disaster Measure at 5PM. 
* In addition, a vertical earthquake hit the site and big explosion has
happened near the Unit 1 and smoke breaks out around 3:36PM.
Our two employees and two cooperation workers who had been working for
the foundation of safety are suffered and they are all sent to the
hospital. 
* We continue endeavoring to secure the safety that all we can do and 
monitoring the periphery.
 
Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station:
 Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to earthquake
* The national government has instructed evacuation for those local 
residents within 3km radius of the periphery and indoor standby for 
those local residents between 3km and 10km radius of the periphery. 
* At present, we have decided to prepare implementing measures to reduce 
the pressure of the reactor containment vessel (partial discharge of air 
containing radioactive materials) in order to fully secure safety.
These measures are considered to be implemented in Units 1, 2 and 3 and 
accordingly, we have reported and/or noticed the government agencies 
concerned.
* Unit 3 has been stopped and being "nuclear reactor cooling hot stop"
 at 12:15PM.
 
Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station:
 Units 1, 5, 6, 7: normal operation
 Units 2 to 4: outage due to regular inspection
 
 
[Thermal Power Station]
Hirono Thermal Power Station Units 2 and 4: shutdown due to earthquake
Hitachinaka Thermal Power Station Unit 1: shutdown due to earthquake
Kashima Thermal Power Station Units 2, 3, 5, 6: shutdown due to earthquake
Ohi Thermal Power Station Units 2, 3: shutdown due to earthquake
Higashi-Ohgishima Thermal Power Station Unit 1: shutdown due to earthquake
 
[Hydro Power Station]
 5 stations in Fukushima Prefecture were shutdown due to earthquake. 
Power stations in Yamanashi Prefecture have been restored.
 
[Transmission System, etc.]
5 substations shown below have been shutdown:
- Naka Substation
- Shin Motegi Substation
- Joban Substation
- Ibaraki Substation
- Nishi Mito Substation
 
[Blackout in TEPCO's Service Area] 
 Total of about 0.54 million households are out of power. 
 Tokyo: 0 
 Kanagawa Pref.: 0 
 Tochigi Pref.: 12,204 
 Chiba Pref.: 18,080 
 Saitama Pref: 534 
 Gunma Pref.: 0 
 Ibaraki Pref: 505,072 
 Yamanashi Pref: 0 
 Shizuoka Pref: 0 (east of Fuji River) 
 
[Supply and Demand Status within TEPCO's Service Area to Secure Stable 
Power Supply] 
Backup supply from Shinshinano Conversion Station: 600MW
Backup supply from Sakuma Conversion Station: 300MW
Backup supply from Higashi Shimizu Conversion Station: 100MW
 
Because TEPCO's facilities have been seriously damaged, power shortage 
may occur. TEPCO appreciates customers' cooperation in reducing 
electricity usage by avoiding using unnecessary lighting and electrical 
equipment.
 
We are taking all measures to restore power, however, we expect extremely 
difficult situation in power supply for tomorrow as well.
We kindly ask our customers to cooperate with us in reducing usage of 
power.
 
Please do NOT touch cut-off electric wires.
  
* Revised past progress
