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) 
 
- At 9:00 am on June 9, transfer of accumulated water in Unit 6 turbine 
  building underground was resumed. At 6:00 am on June 10, the transfer 
  was completed. 
- On June 9, using a concrete pumping vehicle, we have been spraying approx. 
  6,400m2 of dust inhibitor, which prevents the radioactive materials from 
  dispersing, to the roof and the wall of Unit 1 and 3 turbine building. 
  On June 9, workers have been spraying approx. 8,750m2 of dust inhibitor 
  near the main gate.
 
Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station: 
  Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake
 
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) 
 
It seems that planned outage could be escaped thanks to your understanding 
for brownout. 
 
However 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. 
 
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate for your 
cooperation for brownout.
