Due to the Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake which occurred on March 11th
2011, TEPCO's facilities including our nuclear power stations have been
severely damaged. We deeply apologize for the anxiety and inconvenience
caused. 

Below is the status of TEPCO's major facilities. 
*new items are underlined

[Nuclear Power Station]  
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station: 
       Units 1 to 3: shutdown due to the earthquake 
       (Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections) 

* The national government has instructed the public to evacuate for those
local residents within 20km radius of the site periphery and to evacuate
voluntarily for those local residents between 20km and 30km radius of the
site periphery.

* Off-site power has been connected to Unit 1 to 6 by March 22, 2011.

* Unit 1
- The explosive sound and white smoke was confirmed near Unit 1 when the
  big quake occurred at 3:36pm, March 12th.
- We started injection of sea water at 8:20 pm, March 12th, and then
  boric acid which absorbs neutron into the reactor afterwards.
- At approximately 2:30 am, March 23rd, we started the injection of sea
  water into the reactor from feed water system. After that, the
  injection of freshwater was started from 3:37 pm on March 25th
  (switched from the seawater injection). At 8:32 am, Mar 29th, transfer
  from the fire fighting pump to a temporary motor driven pump was made.
- At approximately 10:50 am on March 24th, white smoke was confirmed
  arising from the top of the reactor building.
- At approximately 11:30 am, March 24th, lights in the main control room 
  were restored.
- At approximately 5:00 pm, March 24th, draining water from underground 
  floor of turbine buildings into a condenser was started and it was 
  paused at approximately 7:30 am, March 29th because we confirmed that 
  the water level reached almost full capacity of a condenser. In order 
  to move the water in the condenser into condensate reservoirs, water 
  transfer from the condensate reservoirs to suppression pool's water 
  surge-tanks has been conducted since around 0:00 pm, March 31st.
- From 1:03 pm, March 31st, the water spray by the concrete pumping 
  vehicle was started, and finished at 4:04 pm.

* Unit 2
- At 1:25 pm, March 14th, since the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System
  has failed, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in 
  Clause 1, Article 15 of Act on Special Measures Concerning Nuclear 
  Emergency Preparedness occurred (failure of reactor cooling function).
  At 5:17 pm, March 14th, while the water level in the reactor reached 
  the top of the fuel rod, we have restarted the water injection with 
  the valve operation.
- At approximately 6:14 am, March 15th, the abnormal sound was confirmed 
  near the suppression chamber and the pressure inside the chamber 
  decreased afterwards. It was determined that there is a possibility 
  that something happened in the suppression chamber. While sea water 
  injection to the reactor continued, TEPCO employees and workers from 
  other companies not in charge of injection work started tentative 
  evacuation to a safe location. 
  Sea water injection to the reactor continued.
- On March 18th, power was delivered up to substation for backup power 
  through offsite transmission line. We completed laying cable further 
  to unit receiving facility in the building, and at 3:46 pm, March 20th 
  the load-side power panel of the receiving facility started to be 
  energized.
- From 3:05 pm to 5:20 pm on March 20th, about 40 tons of seawater was 
  injected into Unit 2 by TEPCO employees.
- At approximately 6:20 pm on March 21st, white smoke was confirmed 
  arising from the top of the reactor building. As of 7:11 am on March 
  22nd, smoke decreased to the level where we could hardly confirm.
- From around 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm on March 22nd, approximately 18 tons of 
  sea water was injected into the spent fuel pool by TEPCO employees. 
- From 10:10 am on March 26th, freshwater (with boric acid) injection 
  was initiated. (switched from the seawater injection) At 6:31pm, March
  27th, transfer from the fire fighting pump to a temporary motor driven
  pump was made.
- From 10:30 am on March 25th, seawater injection through Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System was initiated. The work was finished at 
  12:19 pm, March 25th. From 4:30 pm, March 29th, freshwater injection 
  through Fuel Pool Cooling and Filtering System was initiated. (We 
  switched from seawater to freshwater). The work was finished at 6:25 pm
  on March 29th. At 9:25 am, March 30th, we started fresh water injection
  by a temporary motor driven pump, but we switched the pump to the fire
  fighting pump due to the pump trouble. At 1:10 pm, March 30th, 
  freshwater injection was suspended, because we found the crack on a 
  part of the hose. At 7:05 pm, March 30th, freshwater injection was 
  resumed and finished at 11:50 pm, March 31. 
- At approximately 4:46 pm, March 26th, lights in the main control room 
  were restored.
- At approximately 4:45 pm, March 29th, the water in condensate 
  reservoirs was being transferred to suppression pool water surge-tanks
  to prepare for water transfer from a condenser to condensate reservoirs
  in order to drain water on the underground floor of the turbine 
  building into a condenser. At 11:50 am, April 1st, transfer was 
  completed. 
- At 14:56 pm, April 1st, water injection into spent fuel pool in Unit 2 
  by temporary motor driven pump was initiated. 

* Unit 3 
- At 6:50 am, March 14th, while water injection to the reactor was under  
  operation (injection of boric acid was done on Mar 13th), the pressure in  
  the reactor containment vessel increased to 530 kPa. As a result, at 7:44  
  am, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15,  
  clause 1 occurred (abnormal increase of the pressure of reactor  
  containment vessel). Afterwards, the pressure gradually decreased (as of  
  9:05 am, 490 kPa).  
- We continue injecting water into a reactor. (Boric acid was added on March 13)
 * We announced in our past reports that "On March 14, the pressure in the 
   primary containment vessel increased and it was determined that a 
   specific incident stipulated in the Article 15, the Clause 1 of Act on 
   Special Measures Concerning Nuclear　Emergency Preparedness occurred". 
   However, we made a mistake in the calculation of the pressure value and 
   the status of Unit 3 did not fall under the above-mentioned specific 
   incidents. We will delete the related description from our latest report.
- At approximately 11:01 am, March 14th, an explosion followed by white 
  smoke occurred near Unit 3. 4 TEPCO employees and 3 workers from other 
  companies (all of them were conscious) sustained injuries and were 
  taken to the hospital by ambulances.
- As the temperature of water in the spent fuel pool rose, spraying water
  by helicopters with the support of the Self Defense Force was 
  considered. However the operation on March 16th was cancelled.
- At 6:15 am, March 17th, the pressure of the Suppression Chamber 
  temporarily increased, but currently it is stable within a certain 
  range. On March 20th, we were preparing to implement measures to reduce
  the pressure of the reactor containment vessel (partial discharge of 
  air containing radioactive material to outside) in order to fully 
  secure safety. However, at present, it is not a situation to 
  immediately implement measures and discharge air containing radioactive
  material to outside. We will continue to monitor the status of the 
  pressure of the reactor containment vessel.
- In order to cool spent fuel pool, water was sprayed by helicopters on 
  March 17th with the cooperation of Self-Defense Forces.

  * common spent fuel pool: a spent fuel pool for common use set in a 
    separate building in a plant site in order to preserve spent fuel 
    which are transferred from the spent fuel pool in each Unit building.

* On March 17th, we patrolled buildings for dry casks and found no signs 
of abnormal situation for the casks by visual observation. A detailed 
inspection is under preparation.
  * dry cask: a measure to store spent fuel in a dry storage casks in 
    storages. Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station started to utilize 
    the measure from August 1995.

* In total 13 fire engines are lent for spraying water to the spent fuel 
pools and water injection to the nuclear reactors by various regional 
fire departments* as well as Tokyo Fire Department. Also, instruction 
regarding the setting and operation of large scale decontamination system
was provided.

* On March 21st, 23rd to 30th, we detected technetium, cobalt, iodine, 
cesium, tellurium, barium, lanthanum and molybdenum from the seawater 
around the discharge canal of the station.

* On March 20th, 21st, 23rd to 30th, we detected iodine, cesium, 
tellurium and ruthenium in the air collected at the site of Fukushima 
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

* Plutonium has detected from the sample of soil at the site of Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station collected on 21st and 22nd of March, 
Concentration level of Plutonium detected was same as that of under usual
environment and it is thought not to be harmful to human health. We will
strengthen environmental monitoring of power station and surrounding 
environment.

* On March 28th, we detected radioactive materials contained in the 
puddles found in the turbine building of Unit 1 to 4.

* At approximately 3:30 pm, March 27th, we found water pooling in the 
vertical shaft of the trench outside of the turbine buildings for Units 1
to 3. The radiation dose at the surface of the water amounted 0.4 mSv/h 
in Unit 1 and over 1,000 mSv/h in Unit 2. We could not confirm the amount
of the radiation dose in Unit 3. We will keep observing the condition of
the water in the vertical shaft.
On March 29th, we detected niobium, tellurium, ruthenium, silver, 
tellurium, iodine, cesium, and ruthenium in the water collected at the 
trench of unit 1.
On March 30th, we took samples from the water in the trench of Unit 2 
and 3, and conducted nuclide analysis on them. We are now confirming the
results of the analysis.

* Since around 9:20 am, March 31st, the water transfer from the vertical 
shaft of Unit 1 to the reservoir of the centralized environmental 
facility was conducted. We finished the task around 11:25 am of the same 
day.

* We found a puddle of water at the main building of the centralized 
environmental facility process. We analyzed and detected approximately 
1.2 x 101Bq/cm3 of radioactivity in full dose in the Controlled Area and 
2.2 x 101Bq/cm3 in full dose in the Non-Controlled Area on March 29.

* A barge of the U.S. Forces with fresh water to be used to cool down 
reactors etc. was towed by a ship of Maritime Self-Defense Force and at 
3:42 pm on March 31st 2011, came alongside the pier. At 15:38, April 1st,
we started to replenish the fresh water with filtrate tanks.

* At 11:35 am, April 1st, a worker fell into the sea while stepping into
the ship from the pier during the hose laying work of the barge. Other
crew immediately rescued the worker. While no injury or contamination was
confirmed, whole body counter will be implemented to check the
contamination inside the body just in case.

* Shizuoka City kindly agreed with us to assign their mega float in
responding to our request. It will be placed in the front sea area of
Fukushima Daiichi power station and be used for the storage of water. 

* We will continuously endeavor to securing safety, and monitoring of
the surrounding environment.

Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station: 
  Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake 
* The national government has instructed evacuation for those local 
residents within 10km radius of the periphery.

* In order to achieve cold shutdown, reactor cooling function was 
restored and cooling of reactors was conducted. As a result, all reactors
achieved cold shutdown: Unit 1 at 5:00 pm, March 14th, Unit 2 at 6:00 pm,
March 14th, Unit 3 at 0:15 pm, March 12th, Unit 4 at 7:15 am, March 16th. 

* At 2:30 pm on March 30th, the power source of the residual heat removal
system(B) to cool the reactor of Unit 1 was secured from an emergency 
power source in addition to an offsite power. This means that all the 
units secure backup power sources (emergency power sources) for the 
residual heat removal systems(B).

* (Unit 1)
As it is confirmed that the temperature of the Emergency Equipment 
Cooling Water System *1 has increased, at 3:20 pm, March 15th, we stopped
the Residual Heat Removal System (B) for the inspection. Subsequently,
failure was detected in the power supply facility associated with the 
pumps of the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System. At 4:25 pm, March
15th, after replacing the power facility, the pumps and the Residual Heat
Removal System (B) have been reactivated.

* (Unit 4)
As it is confirmed that the pressure at the outlet of the pumps of the 
Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System*1 has been decreased, at 
8:05 pm, March 15th, we stopped the Residual Heat Removal System (B) for 
the inspection. Subsequently, failure was detected in the power supply 
facility associated with the pumps of the Emergency Equipment Cooling 
Water System. At 9:25 pm, March 15th, after replacing the relevant 
facility, the pumps and the Residual Heat Removal System (B) have been 
reactivated.
