Press Release (Sep 30,2011)
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 July (14,841
   persons. Remaining 456 persons including 65 persons whose contact
   information was unknown 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 10, 20, July 7 and September 15)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 July became 163 persons from 456 persons as
   of September 15. 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 August was 1,142,
   and the maximum external exposure dose was 18.27 mSv.
 - The evaluation results of workers who finished evaluation for August
   are as follows. Also there are 115 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

- Progress status of the investigation for the workers whose contact

                                                                       END

*1 The number of the evaluated from March to July as of August 31

*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.
