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 am* 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 20, Units 1 to 4 remain in a cold shutdown (please
refer to the appendix).
We will make our best efforts to stabilize each plant
·There are no updates from the previous press release.
*【correction】
Unit 4's cold shutdown started from 7:15 "am" on March 15. In previous
press releases from April 4 to July 19, we erroneously stated as 7:15 "pm".
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Incorrect: 7:15 pm → Correct: 7:15 am
