TEPCO compiled a record of observed seismic data collected at Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station
when the Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake occurred at 2:46pm on March 11,
2011, and reported it to NISA.
(Previously announced on April 1 and May 16, 2011)
Subsequently, we received an instruction document* from NISA. Following the
instruction, we were meant to conduct detailed evaluation of the impact
from the earthquake shake and implementation of countermeasures for
malfunctions of seismometers, and to report the results to NISA. We have
already compiled reports on the results of earthquake response analysis of
reactor buildings, facilities and pipes important to earthquake safety in
Unit 1 to 4 and the results of survey on the malfunctions of seismometers
and their modifications made following the survey, and submitted them to
NISA.

We'd like to notify here that we compiled reports on the results of
earthquake response analysis at Fukushima Daiichi and Daini Nuclear Power
Station, and submitted them to NISA.

*Actions following the analysis of seismic data collected at Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power station and Fukushima Daini nuclear power station
during the Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake (Instruction)
NISA No.6, 2011 May 16
On May 16, NISA received TEPCO's report of analysis of observed seismic
data collected at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station and Fukushima
Daini nuclear power station during the Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake.
According to the report, acceleration response spectra of observed seismic
data observed at free foundation point in the reactor buildings in
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station was mostly below the acceleration
response spectra for evaluation of basic earthquake ground motion Ss in
most periods, however, spectra collected in Unit 2, 3, and 5 exceeded
spectra for evaluation by 30% at maximum during 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.
Based on TEPCO's analysis above, NISA considers that it is extremely
important to evaluate the impacts from the earthquake on reactor buildings,
turbine buildings, and major facilities and pipes from earthquake
resistance perspective in Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear power station
in order to confirm the status of safety function of those facilities at
the time of earthquake and following period.
The report also states that data recording was interrupted in several
voluntary located seismometers during 130 to 150 seconds after the
initiation of recoding due to the malfunction of recording devices.
The reason of malfunction was analyzed that 1) the program was coded to
finish the recording once the seismometer detects the shake below threshold
even if it detects the shake above such threshold afterwards, 2) while the
recording device was meant to restart the recording when the shake exceeds
threshold even after the recording was interrupted, program didn't restart
the recording due to the malfunction of recognition of recording material.
NISA accordingly requests TEPCO to report following matters by the
following due date.
