Press Release (Jun 24,2011)
Plant Status of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station (as of 3:00 pm, June 24)
 
On March 11 2011, turbines and reactors of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power 
Station Units 1 to 4 (Boiling Water Reactors, rated output 1,100 Megawatts) 
that we had been constantly operating at rated thermal output were 
automatically shut down at 2:48 pm due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki 
Earthquake (previously announced on March 11).

At 7:15 pm on March 15, the reactor of Unit 4 achieved cold shutdown. As a 
result, all reactors of Units 1 to 4 at Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power 
Station achieved cold shutdown (previously announced on March 15).  

As of 3:00 pm on June 24, the reactors of Unit 1 to 4 are in cold shutdown 
(please refer to the appendix). We continue to make our endeavors to 
stabilize each plant.

<Updates are underlined> 
 At approximately 2:45 pm on June 23, a partner company's worker, who was 
supervising the conveyance of items at the checkpoint of the service 
building of Unit 1 and 2, got his clothes caught by the buckle of a fire 
extinguisher on the wall and got the fifth finger of his right foot injured 
by the falling fire extinguisher. We transferred the worker to a hospital 
by an ambulance at 4:30 pm. 
Today, he has been diagnosed as "laceration of the fifth finger on right 
foot, fracture of distal phalanx". 
We will investigate the causes and develop preventive measures.
