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 Unit 1 to 3: shut down due to the 
 earthquake
  (Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections)

*At 8:41 am on October 12, we started sampling dust at the upper part of 
 Unit 3 Reactor Building using a large crane vehicle and finished sampling 
 at 10:08 am on the same day.

*Due to the blocking work of opening section on the basement of 
 Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility (Miscellaneous Solid Waste 
 Volume Reduction Treatment Building [High Temperature Incinerator 
 Building]), we stopped transferring accumulated water from the basement 
 of turbine building of Unit 2 (at 9:07 am on October 12) and Unit 3 (at 
 1:16 pm on the same day) to High Temperature Incinerator Building.

*At 10:00 am on October 12, we started transferring accumulated water at 
 basement of Unit 6 turbine building to temporary tank.

*At 2:17 pm on October 12, we started sampling dust at Opening section for 
 equipment hatch and truck bay door of Unit 1 Reactor Building.

-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.
