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 progress status of roadmap considering
the current situation, on July 19. Accomplishment of the Step1 target
"Radiation dose is in steady decline" has been confirmed. On August 17, we
updated the further progress.
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.
*Underlined are new items
[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 2:00 pm on August 31, we finished commissioning and started full
operation of three evaporative concentration apparatuses which we had
additionally installed in desalination devices of water treatment
facility.
-Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station:
Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake
*At 11:53 am on August 31, we completed restoring and started operating
Unit 3 emergency diesel generator (A).
-Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station:
Units 5, 6: under normal operation
(Units 1 to 4 and 7: outage due to regular inspections)
[Thermal Power Station]
-Power supply has returned to normal and facilities damaged by the
earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.
[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]
-In August and September, we forecast the maximum supply will be 56.1 GW,
and the assumed peak demand 48.9 GW.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate for your
cooperation to save electricity.
