Due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake which occurred on March 
11, 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 17, we have compiled the roadmap towards restoration from the 
accident and then we updated the roadmap considering the current situation, 
on June 17. 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 10:02 am on June 22nd, we changed the volume of water injection from 
 feed water system piping arrangement into the reactor of Unit 1, from 
 approx. 4.0m3/h to approxi.3.5 m3/h. 
-At 10:04 am on June 22nd, we changed the volume of water injection from 
 feed water system piping arrangement into the reactor of Unit 2 from 
 approx. 4.5 m3/h to approx. 4.0m3/h. 
-At 9:56 am on June 22nd, we began to transfer the accumulated water from 
 the vertical shaft of Unit 2 to the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment 
 Facility (Process Main Building). 
-At 10:00 am on June 22nd, we began to transfer the accumulated water in 
 the basement of the turbine building of Unit 6 to temporary tanks. 
-From 11:15 am to 12:00 pm on June 22nd, we installed a temporary reactor 
 pressure indicator of Unit 2. 
-From 8:23 am to 2:31 pm on June 22nd, we injected fresh water into the 
 reactor well of Unit 4 and the equipment storage pool. 
-At 2:31 pm on June 22nd, we injected fresh water into the spent fuel pool 
 of Unit 4 through an alternative water injection line. 
-On June 22nd, with a crawler dump, we have been spraying dust inhibitor 
 that prevents radioactive materials from flying apart on the east side of 
 the turbine building of Unit 6. On the same day, we have also been 
 spraying dust inhibitors around the south of bank protection etc.

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 is expected that we will be able to maintain the policy of avoiding 
further implementation of planned blackouts this June because it is 
estimated that we will be able to secure the capacity exceeding the 
maximum forecasted demand as of now, thanks to your understanding as well 
as cooperation on saving electricity.

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 to save electricity.
