We have been determining the exposure dose*1 of each worker during the
emergency work at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. On April 27th,
2011, we have confirmed that the effective exposure dose from January 1st,
2011 to March (the 4th quarter of the 2010 fiscal year) of a female
employee who has been in the restoration work after the Tohoku-Chihou-
Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake is 17.55 mSv, which is in excess of statutory
dose limits*2 (5 mSv / 3 months).
With regard to the female employee, we have confirmed by a medical
diagnosis that there is no impact on her health.
Since March 23rd, we have not had the female employee work within the
premise of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
We are continuously determining the exposure dose in the 4th quarter.
