On May 16, 2011, we received an instruction* from Nuclear and Industrial
Safety Agency (NISA) of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry titled
"Countermeasures based on a report on records of damage situation of
power facilities inside and outside of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Station (instruction)"
(Previously announced on May 17, 2011)
Thereafter we put together the contents in a report on the result of
investigation of causes that brought about damage situation of power
facilities inside and outside of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
and those why protective devices of transmission lines worked and
electric transmission was suspended (Countermeasures in the future are
included in the result). We announce we submitted the report to NISA

·Our report on "Countermeasures based on a report on records of damages
to power facilities inside and outside of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Station (instruction)"
* Countermeasures based on a report on records of damage to power
facilities inside and outside of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Station (NPS) (instruction)
2011.05.16 NISA no. 7
Today on May 16, with regard to collection of a report pursuant to the
provisions of Article106, paragraph 3 of the Electricity Business Act
(Act No. 170 of 1964), we received a report from your company on damage

outside of NPS since the occurrence of the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki
Earthquake (Earthquake).
We, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA), determine we have to
make clear causes that brought about damage situation of power facilities
inside and outside of NPS in the report and those why protective device
of transmission lines worked and electric transmission was suspended in
order to utilize study to further enhance reliability of power supply
to nuclear power stations.
Hence, we request that you report the following items to us by May 23,
2011.
Required Items
1. Results of determination why the following items and other electric
facilities inside and outside of NPS have caused damage situation
