On March 11 2011, turbines and reactors of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power
Station Units 1 to 4 (Boiling Water Reactors, rated output 1,100
Megawatts) that we had been constantly operating at rated thermal output
were automatically shut down at 2:48 pm due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-
Oki Earthquake (previously announced on March 11).

At 7:15 am on March 15, the reactor of Unit 4 achieved cold shutdown. As a

As of 3:00 pm on September 22, the reactors of Units 1 to 4 are in cold
shutdown (please refer to the appendix). We will continue to make our
endeavors to further stabilize each plant of cold shutdown.
