On March 11th 2011, turbines and reactors of Fukushima Daini Nuclear
Power Station Unit 1 to 4 (Boiling Water Reactor, rated output 1100
Megawatts) that had been operating at rated power automatically shutdown
at 2:48 pm due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake (previously
announced on March 11th).
At 7:15 pm on March 15th, the reactor of Unit 4 achieved cold shutdown.
As a result, all reactors of Unit 1 to 4 at Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power
Station achieved cold shutdown (previously announced on March 15th).
As of 4:00 pm on April 8th, the reactors of Unit 1 to 4 are in cold
shutdown (please refer to the attachment). We continue to make our
endeavor to stabilize each plant.
We conducted inspection of each plant after the earthquake occurred on
11:32 pm, April 7th and no trouble was detected.
