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 October 17, 
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.

* The underlined parts are the updates from the previous press release.

[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 10 am on October 25, we started transferring the accumulated water,
 which transferred from the turbine building of Unit 6 to the temporary
 tanks, to the mega float. At 11:30 am on the dame day, we stopped
 transferring.

-At 10:31 am on October 25, we started dust sampling at the opening
 (blowout panel) of the reactor building of Unit 2. At 11:31 am on the
 same day, we completed the sampling.

-At 11:31 am on October 25, we started dust sampling at the opening for
 the equipment hatch in the reactor building of Unit 1. At 0:31 pm on the
 same day, we completed the sampling.

-At 2:22 pm on October 25, since we observed reduction of water injection
 volume to the reactor, we adjusted the injection volume at approx. 3.8
 ㎥/h.

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

-7 monitoring posts have been installed at the border of the power station
 site. We started construction (planned from October 25 to December 20) of
 a permanent building for the measurement equipment, etc. of No.7 which
 had been installed in the temporary building. We continue to measure
 during the construction period. Since the construction work will be done
 near the measurement equipment, there is a possibility that measurement
 results will change to some extent due to the change of radiation
 circumstance around the measurement equipment.

·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.
