All 6 units of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have been shut down. 
 
Unit 1 (Shut down) 
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed after the big quake 
  occurred at 3:36 pm on March 12. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion.
- From 3:37 pm on March 25, we started injecting freshwater by a motor 
  driven pump which is now powered by the off-site transmission line.
  Water is currently injected at approx. 3.7 m3/h through reactor feed 
  water system piping arrangement.
- We commenced injection of nitrogen gas into Primary Containment Vessel 
  at 1:31am on April 7.
- At 9:00 am on August 10, we started to assemble steel frame for the 
  Reactor Building Cover. 
 
Unit 2 (Shut down) 
- At approximately 6:00 am on March 15, an abnormal noise began emanating 
  from nearby Pressure Suppression Chamber and the pressure within the 
  chamber decreased. 
- From 10:10 am on March 26, we started injecting freshwater to the reactor 
  and are now injecting fresh water by a motor driven pump powered by the 
  off-site transmission line.
  Water is currently injected at approx. 3.8 m3/h through reactor feed 
  water system piping arrangement.
- At 8:06 pm on June 28, we started injecting nitrogen gas into the Primary 
  Containment Vessel. 
 
Unit 3 (Shut down) 
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed at approximately 11:01am 
  on March 14. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion.
- From 6:02 pm on March 25, we started injecting fresh water to the reactor 
  and are now injecting fresh water by a motor driven pump powered by the 
  off-site transmission line.
- From 2:09pm to 2:58pm on September 1, we adjusted the water flow into the 
  reactor and started water injection by core spray system in addition to 
  water injection by the reactor feed water system piping arrangement. 
  At 2:43 pm on September 5, we adjusted the rate of water injection 
  through reactor feed water system piping arrangement to approx. 6 m3/h. 
  Water is currently injected at approx. 6 m3/h through reactor feed water 
  system piping arrangement, and at approx. 3 m3/h through core spray 
  system. 
- At 8:01 pm on July 14, injection of nitrogen gas into the Primary 
  Containment Vessel started. 
 
Unit 4 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- At approximately 6 am on March 15, we confirmed the explosive sound and 
  the sustained damage around the 5th floor rooftop area of Reactor 
  Building.
- At this moment, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside the primary containment vessel. 
 
Unit 5 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained.
- At 5:00 am on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System Pump 
  in order to cool the spent fuel pool.
- At 2:30 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown.
- At 2:45 pm on July 15, we started the operation of the original Residual 
  Heat Removal System (System B) by its original seawater pump.
- At this time, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage inside 
  the primary containment vessel. 
 
Unit 6 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained.
- At 10:14 pm on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System Pump 
  of Unit 6 to cool down Spent Fuel Pool.
- At 7:27 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown. 
- At this time, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage inside 
  the primary containment vessel. 
 
Operation for cooling the Spent Fuel Pools 
- At 5:21 pm on May 31, we started cyclic cooling of Spent Fuel Pool of 
  Unit 2 by using alternative cooling system of the Pool's cooling and 
  filtering system. (From 10:50 am to 12:47 pm on September 5, we also 
  injected Hydrazine (corrosion inhibitor)). 
- At 7:47 pm on June 30, we started cyclic cooling of Spent Fuel Pool of 
  Unit 3 by using alternative cooling system of the Pool's cooling and 
  filtering system. 
- At 12:44 pm on July 31, we started cyclic cooling of Spent Fuel Pool of 
  Unit 4 by using alternative cooling system of the Pool's cooling and 
  filtering system.
- At 11:22 am on Aug 10, we started cyclic cooling of Spent Fuel Pool of 
  Unit 1 by using alternative cooling system of the Pool's cooling and 
  filtering system. 
 
Others 
- At around 10 am on June 13, we started the operation of the circulating 
  seawater purification facility installed at the screen area of Units 2 
  and 3.
- At 8:00 pm on June 17, we started operation of Water Treatment Facility 
  against the accumulated water. At 6:00 pm on July 2, we started the 
  circulating injection cooling to inject the water, which was treated by 
  the accumulated water treatment system, to the reactors through the 
  buffer tank.
- At 7:41 pm on August 19, we started treatment of accumulated water by 
  parallel operation of one line from the cesium adsorption instrument to 
  the decontamination instrument and the other treatment line of the 2nd 
  cesium adsorption instrument. 
- At 11:34 am on August 20, we started operation of the desalting facility 
  for the spent fuel pool of Unit 4
- At 9:39 am on August 30, we started transferring accumulated water from 
  the turbine building of Unit 2 to Process Building of Centralized 
  Radiation Waste Treatment Facility.
- At 9:54 am on August 30, we started transferring accumulated water from 
  the turbine building of Unit 3 to High Temperature Incinerator Building 
  of Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility.
