Due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake which occurred on March 
11th 2011, TEPCO's facilities including our nuclear power stations have 
been severely damaged. We deeply apologize for the anxiety and 
inconvenience caused. 
With regard to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, on 
April 17th, we have compiled the roadmap towards restoration from the 
accident and then we updated the roadmap considering the current situation, 
on May 17th. By bringing the reactors and spent fuel pools to a stable 
cooling condition and mitigating the release of radioactive materials, we 
will make every effort to enable evacuees to return to their homes and for 
all citizens to be able to secure a sound life.

Below is the status of TEPCO's major facilities. 
*Updates from previous press release are underlined.
 
[Nuclear Power Station] 
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station: 
  Units 1 to 3: shutdown due to the earthquake 
  (Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections) 
 
- On June 7, dust inhibitor was sprayed approx. 8,750m2 of observation 
  point area. 
- At 9:00 am on June 8, we suspended the Residual Heat Removal System Pump 
  (C) in order to increase one more pump, total will be two.
 
Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station: 
  Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake 
 
- At 2:05 pm on June 6, the Clean Up Water System* of Unit 3 has been 
  restored. 
  *Clean Up Water System...The system which removes impurities in the 
  reactor water and maintains the water quality. The system is also used to 
  control reactor water level by discharging redundant water from the 
  reactor during regular inspection or reactor shutdown.
 
Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station: 
  Units 1, 5, 6, 7: normal operation 
  (Units 2 to 4: outage due to regular inspection)
 
[Thermal Power Station] 
- Hirono Thermal Power Station Unit 2 and 4: Shutdown due to the earthquake
 
[Hydro Power Station] 
- Power supply has returned to normal and facilities damaged by the 
  earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.
 
[Impacts on Transmission Facilities] 
- Power supply has returned to normal and facilities damaged by the 
  earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.
 
[Perspective of Power Supply and Demand Balance in this Summer] 
We have worked to restore electricity supply after our nuclear and thermal 
power facilities were severely damaged by Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki 
Earthquake. This time, we revised that the supply capacity in this summer 
would increase because we could plan to secure an additional capacity. 
However, in order to maintain the policy of avoiding further implementation 
of rolling blackouts during the summer, in addition to the above increase 
of the supply capacity, we sincerely ask for your continued cooperation in 
reducing electricity consumption. Now we are creating concrete measures 
considering "Outline of Countermeasures for Power Supply and Demand During 
Summertime" presented by the Electricity Supply-Demand Emergency Response 
Headquarters of the Japanese government. 
                                                   (Previously Announced) 
 
In the event that an unplanned outage such as excessive continuous 
operation in old plants and a sudden increase of power demand due to 
unusual hot temperature occur, there is a possibility to affect a stable 
power supply. In order to maintain the policy of avoiding rolling 
blackouts, we steadily implement to install additional power capacity we 
have planed, and we continuously do our best efforts to secure supply 
capacity.
