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. 3.6 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. 
- At 11:22 pm on August 10, we started cyclic cooling for the water in the 
  spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System. 
 
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. 3.5 m3/h through reactor feed 
  water system piping arrangement. 
- From 5:21 pm on May 31, we started cyclic cooling for the water in the 
  spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System. 
- 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 2:58 pm on September 1, we started water injection by core spray 
  system in addition to water injection by the reactor feed water system 
  piping arrangement. 
  Water is currently injected at approx. 5 m3/h through reactor feed water 
  system piping arrangement, and at approx. 2.9 m3/h through core spray 
  system. 
- From 7:47 pm on June 30, we started cyclic cooling for the water in the 
  spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering 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. 
- From 0:44 pm on July 31, we started cyclic cooling for the water in the 
  spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System. 
- From 11:34 am on August 20, we started an operation of desalination 
  equipment in the spent fuel pool. 
- 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. 
- At 3:12 pm on September 10, we started cooling the spent fuel pool 
  through the Residual Heat Removal System A using the seawater pump C. We 
  will conduct cooling the reactor and the spent fuel pool by turn through 
  the System A. 
 
Others 
- At around 10 am on June 13, we started the operation of the circulating 
  seawater purification facility installed at the screen area of Unit 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 9:39 am on August 30, we started transferring accumulated water from 
  the turbine building of Unit 2 to Process Main Building of Centralized 
  Radiation Waste Treatment Facility. 
- At 9:30 am on September 8, we started transferring accumulated water 
  from the turbine building of Unit 3 to Process Main Building of 
  Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility. From 10:00 am on 
  September 11, we changed to transfer to the High Temperature Incinerator 
  Building of Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility.
