In accordance with the "Interim Business Operation and Rationalization
Measures" announced today, we will restructure our internal organization
as follows:
1. Establishment of "Fukushima Daiichi Stabilization Center"
In order to steadily fulfill the "Roadmap toward restoration from the
accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station", we will establish
the "Fukushima Daiichi Stabilization Center" inside the Nuclear Power &
Plant Siting Division.
To enable the center to cope with the rapidly changing situation of the
power station in a flexible and appropriate manner, the center will be
located in the Hama-dori region (within Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power
Station) of Fukushima Prefecture. The Deputy General Manager of the
Nuclear Power & Plant Siting Division will be the resident superintendent.
By conducting a technical study at the site, we will carry out a thorough
hands-on approach and implement planned measures as well as construction
work in cooperation with the power station.
We will establish eight divisions within the center. They will be the
"General Planning Department" to conduct progress management, the "Cooling
Project Department" to cool reactors and spent fuel pools, the "Water
Treatment Project Department" to isolate/store/treat contaminated water,
the "Radiation Containment Project Department" to conduct radiation
shielding, the "Technical Support Department" to conduct a safety
assessment of the reactors, the "Radiation Protection & Environment
Department" to conduct environmental monitoring, the "Plant Infrastructure
Department" to implement measures to restore power wires as well as to
maintain communication systems, and the "Civil Architecture Department" to
conduct maintenance of civil engineering facilities. While maintaining a
clear distinction of each division's individual responsibilities, we will
implement measures to achieve restoration from the accident as soon as
possible.
Moreover, we have appointed a person to serve as the"Fukushima Daiichi
Stabilization Center Preparation Officer" today to oversee its establishment.

2. Restructuring of "Marketing & Sales Division"
"Marketing & Sales Division" which serves as a contact point between
corporate and domestic customers will be renamed the "Customer Relations
Division." While sincerely responding to all customer comments, we will
ask for their cooperation in conserving electricity, along with
introducing measures to control demand.
Furthermore, the Marketing & Customer Relations Department's "Center for
Home Energy Promotion" inside this division will be closed. The Corporate
Marketing & Sales Department's "Energy Solution Department for Industrial
Customers" and the "Energy Solution Department for Commercial Customers"
will be renamed the "Commercial Customer Energy Department" and the
"Industrial Customer Energy Department", respectively.

3. Restructuring of "Inter-corporate Business Promotion Department" and
"International Affairs Department"
With regards to TEPCO's group businesses, we will in principal streamline
our assets and our organization to those entities only necessary to the
electricity supply business. In light of the major business efficiency
improvements and streamlining that will be carried out, we will rename the
"Inter-corporate Business Promotion Department" to the "Inter-corporate
Business Department" and close the "New Business Development Department"
within that division.
Furthermore, the "Overseas Business Development Department" within the
International Affairs Department will be renamed the "Overseas Business
Department."
