All 6 units of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have been shut down.

Unit 1 (Shut down) 
-Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed after the big quake 
 occurred at 3:36 pm on March 12. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion.
-At approximately 2:30 am on March 23, seawater injection to the reactor 
 through the feed water system was initiated.
-From 3:37 pm on March 25, we started injecting freshwater. We are now 
 injecting freshwater by a motor driven pump powered by the off-site 
 transmission line at 6 m3/h.
-As it is suspected that hydrogen gas is accumulated inside Primary 
 Containment Vessel, we commenced the valve opening operation concerning 
 injection of nitrogen gas into the primary containment vessel at 10:30 
 pm April 6 and commenced injection at 1:31am April 7.

Unit 2 (Shut down) 
-At approximately 6:00 am on March 15, an abnormal noise began emanating 
 from nearby Pressure Suppression Chamber and the pressure within the 
 chamber decreased. 
-From 10:10 am on March 26, we started injecting freshwater to the 
 reactor and are now injecting freshwater by a motor driven pump powered 
 by the off-site transmission line at 7 m3/h.

Unit 3 (Shut down) 
-Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed at approximately 11:01am 
 on March 14. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion.
-From 6:02 pm on March 25, we started injecting fresh water to the 
 reactor and are now injecting fresh water by a motor driven pump powered 
 by the off-site transmission line.
-At 4:53 pm on May 12, as a part of work to switch the water injection 
 line to the reactor from the fire extinction system to the reactor feed 
 water system, we started water injection through the reactor feed water 
 system in addition to through the fire extinction system. The current 
 rate of water injection is approximately 6 m3/h through the fire 
 protection system piping arrangement and approximately 12 m3/h through 
 the reactor feed water system piping arrangement.

Unit 4 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
-At approximately 6:00 am on March 15, we confirmed the explosive sound 
 and the sustained damage around the 5th floor rooftop area of Reactor 
 Building.
-At this moment, we do not consider any reactor coolant leakage inside 
 the primary containment vessel happened.

Unit 5 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
-Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained.
-At 5:00 am on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System 
 Pump (C) in order to cool the spent fuel pool.
-At 2:30 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown.
-At this moment, we do not consider any reactor coolant leakage inside 
 the primary containment vessel happened.

Unit 6 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
-Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained.
-At 10:14 pm on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System 
 Pump (B) of Unit 6 in order to cool the spent fuel pool.
-At 7:27 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown.
-At this moment, we do not consider any reactor coolant leakage inside 
 the primary containment vessel happened.

Operation for cooling the spent fuel pools 
-From 3:33 pm to 5:09 pm, on May 22nd, we sprayed water to Unit 1 by a 
 concrete pumping vehicle (From 12:30 pm to 1:50 pm, we collected 
 radioactive substances in the air at the opening of the reactor building.) 
-We will continuously conduct further water spray depending on the 
 conditions of spent fuel pools, if needed.

Others 
-At 1:30 pm on April 26, we started spraying the dust inhibitor inside 
 the site.
-At 10:08 am on April 19, we started transfer of high level radioactive 
 wastewater from the vertical shaft near the turbine building of Unit 2 
 to the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility.
-At 2:00 pm on May 1, we started transferring the accumulated water in 
 turbine building of Unit 6 to temporary tanks.
-At 11:00 am on May 10, we started transferring the accumulated water 
 from the underground level of reactor building to the radiation waste 
 treatment facility of Unit 6.
-At 6:04 pm on May 17, we started transfer of high level radioactive 
 waste water from the underground level of the turbine building of 
 Unit 3 to the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility.
-We will continue to take all measures to ensure the safety and to 
 continue monitoring the surrounding environment around the power station.
