Due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake which occurred on March 
11, 2011, TEPCO's facilities including our nuclear power stations have been 
severely damaged. We deeply apologize for the anxiety and inconvenience 
caused.
With regard to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, on 
April 17, we have compiled the roadmap towards restoration from the 
accident and then we updated the progress status of roadmap considering the 
current situation, on July 19. Accomplishment of the Step1 target 
"Radiation dose is in steady decline" has been confirmed. On September 20, 
we updated the further progress. 
By bringing the reactors and spent fuel pools to a stable cooling condition 
and mitigating the release of radioactive materials, we will make every 
effort to enable evacuees to return to their homes and for all citizens to 
be able to secure a sound life.

Below is the status of TEPCO's major facilities.

*Updates are underlined.

[Nuclear Power Station]
- Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station:
   (Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections) 

*At 8:54 am on October 3, the secondary cooling system piping arrangement 
 of circulating cooling system of Unit 4 spent fuel pool was stopped due to 
 the replacement of the secondary cooling system piping arrangement.
*From 8:55 am to 12:05 pm on October 3, dust sampling of upper parts of 
 Unit 1 reactor building was conducted using a large-scale crane.
*At 10:00 am on October 3, we resumed transferring accumulated water at the 
 basement of Unit 6 turbine building to a temporary tank.
*At 10:37 am on October 3, in Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment 
 Facility, we started transferring accumulated water at On-site Bunker 
 Building to Process Main Building.
*At 10:59 am on October 3, we started transferring accumulated water at the 
 Unit 3 condenser to the basement of Unit 3 turbine building.
*Because a decrease in the amount of water was confirmed at the residual 
 heat removal system seawater pump (C), the cooling of the reactor using 
 residual heat removal system (A) was stopped at 11:20 am on October 3, and 
 we implemented the inspection of the residual heat removal system seawater 
 pump (C) and the related system. The inspection result confirmed its 
 normal function. Thus, at 12:44 pm on the same day, we resumed cooling the 
 reactor by residual heat removal system (A).

- Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station:
   Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake

- Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station:
   Units 5, 6: under normal operation
   (Units 1 to 4 and 7: outage due to regular inspections)

[Thermal Power Station]
- Power supply has returned to normal and facilities damaged by the 
  earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.

[Hydro Power Station]
- Power supply has returned to normal and facilities damaged by the 
  earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.

[Impacts on Transmission Facilities]
- Power supply has returned to normal and facilities damaged by the 
  earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.

[Impacts on Power Supply and Demand Balance]
Thanks to our all customer's energy-saving efforts, we could successfully 
maintain an even supply-demand balance in this summer. We express our 
deepest appreciation to the efforts.

While we will continue to exert maximum effort to stabilize the 
supply-demand balance, we kindly request your continued efforts in keeping 
electricity consumption within reasonable levels.
