On March 11 2011, Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station Units 1 to 4
(Boiling Water Reactors, rated output 1,100 Megawatts each) that we had
been operating at rated thermal output shutdown automatically 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 a cold shutdown. As
a result, all the Units of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station achieved
the status of cold shutdown (previously announced on March 15).
As of 3:00 pm on July 13, the Units 1 to 4 remain in a cold shutdown
(please refer to the appendix). We will make our best efforts to stabilize
each plant.

Of the monitoring posts (7 in total) installed in the site boundary, we are
planning to clean the inside of the covers that veil the measuring devices
and the feet of the posts from July 11th to 15th in order to improve
sensitivity for detection
This might influence on measuring the data of the monitoring posts.
