Press Release (Sep 15,2011)
Evaluation status of internal exposure dose of emergency workers
We have been evaluating exposure dose of workers at Fukushima Daiichi 
Nuclear Power Station in the following two categories:
  -Internal exposure dose
  -External exposure dose

We have sequentially submitted interim reports to Ministry of Health, Labor
and Welfare on the following items when each reporting due date comes, and 
have made announcements.
(a) Evaluation results of internal exposure dose from March to June (12,237
    persons out of 12,822 intended persons were evaluated. Remaining 585 
    persons will be evaluated hereafter.)*1
(b) From (a), detailed evaluation*2 results of internal exposure dose for 
    workers with the aggregate evaluation of internal and external exposure
    dose over 250mSv (6 persons)
(C) From (a), evaluation results of internal exposure dose for workers with
    evaluation of internal exposure dose over 20mSv (349 persons, including
    6 persons in (b))
      (Previously announced on June 13, 20, 30, July 13, 20, 29, August 10 
      and 31)

We would like to announce that we have compiled the following two issues 
and reported to Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare today.
(1)Evaluation status of internal exposure dose (Refer to Attachment 1 of 
   the Exhibit)
 - The number of workers who are not finished evaluation of internal 
   exposure dose from March to June became 243 persons from 585 persons as 
   of August 31. The evaluation results of workers who finished evaluation 
   this time are as follows.
       Over 20mSv   0 person
 - The number of employees newly engaged in the work on July was 2,204, and
   the maximum external exposure dose was 31.22 mSv.
 - The evaluation results of workers who finished evaluation for July are 
   as follows. Also there are 213 persons to be evaluated hereafter.
       Over 20mSv   0 person
(2)Regarding the investigation on the workers whose contact information is 
   not identified
 - We reported it as per Attachment 2 of the Exhibit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we are planning to report to Ministry of Health, Labor and 
Welfare as follows. 
- Evaluation results of internal exposure dose of the workers who are not 
  finished evaluation from March to July or August (September 30)
- Progress status of the investigation for the workers whose contact 
  information are unknown (September 30)

                                                                        END

    June:  1,981 persons out of 2,278 intended persons (297 persons are 
           remaining.)

*2 Detailed evaluation of internal exposure dose
Regarding the evaluation of internal exposure dose, firstly, a measurement 
of the amount of residual radioactive material by whole body counter (WBC) 
installed in Hirono football ground nearby J-VILLAGE will be conducted. 
When the result of the measurement exceeds 20mSv, as detailed evaluation, 
re-evaluation specifying irradiated date based on interview, etc. or 
detailed measurement by using WBC of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) 
intended for detailed examination will be conducted. The evaluation result 
may be reviewed depend on the evaluation progress.
