On September 15, 2011, we received an instruction document titled
"Regarding the Investigation of the Mistakes in the Reports of Emergency
Countermeasures for Safety (Instruction)*" from the Nuclear and Industrial
Safety Agency (NISA) of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
(Previously announced on September 15)
In accordance with this instruction, we investigated the mistakes in the
following reports that have already been submitted to NISA and we found
two mistakes concerning the installation level of the main equipment in
the report of the emergency countermeasures for safety at Fukushima Daini
Nuclear Power Station. We submitted to NISA a report of the investigation
results, causes, and prevention measures and an amended report of
emergency countermeasures for safety at Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power
Station.
The mistakes have no impact on the evaluation results.
