All 6 units of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have been shut down. 
 
Unit 1 (Shut down) 
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed after the big quake 
  occurred at 3:36 pm on March 12. It was assumed to be hydrogen 
  explosion.

  reactor containment vessel in operation. 
 
Unit 3 (Shut down) 
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed at approximately 11:01 
  am on March 14. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion. 
- At 6:02 pm on March 25, we started injecting fresh water to the reactor 
  and are now injecting fresh water by a motor driven pump powered by the 
  off-site transmission line. 
- At 2:58 pm on September 1, we started water injection by core spray 
  system in addition to water injection by the reactor feed water system 
  piping arrangement. 
  Water is currently injected at approx. 2.3 m3/h through reactor feed 
  water system piping arrangement, and at approx. 8 m3/h through core 
  spray system water injection piping arrangement. 
- At 7:47 pm on June 30, we started cyclic cooling for the water in the 
  spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System. (From 1:10 pm to 2:49 pm on November 10, 
  we conducted injection of hydrazine (corrosion inhibitor) to spent fuel 
  pool of Unit 3 through the circulating cooling system.) 
- At 8:01 pm on July 14, injection of nitrogen gas into the Primary 
  Containment Vessel started. 
- From 9:05 am to 1:30 pm on November 10, we conducted a dust sampling at 
  upper part of the reactor building. 
 
Unit 4 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- At around 6 am on March 15, we confirmed the explosive sound and the 
  sustained damage around the 5th floor rooftop area of Reactor Building. 
- At 12:44 pm on July 31, we started cyclic cooling for the water in the 
  spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System. 
- At 11:34 am on August 20, we started an operation of desalination 
  equipment in the spent fuel pool. 
- At this moment, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside the primary containment vessel. 
 
Unit 5 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained. 
- At 5:00 am on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System 
  Pump in order to cool the spent fuel pool. 
- At 2:30 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown. 
- At 2:45 pm on July 15, we started the operation of the original 
  Residual Heat Removal System (System B) by its original seawater pump. 
- At this moment, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside the primary containment vessel. 
 
Unit 6 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained. 
- At 10:14 pm on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System 
  Pump of Unit 6 to cool down Spent Fuel Pool. 
- At 7:27 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown. 
- At 2:33 pm on September 15, we started separately cooling the reactor 
  through the Residual Heat Removal System and the spent fuel pool 
  through Equipment Cooling Water System and Fuel Pool Cooling System. 
- At this time, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside the primary containment vessel. 
 
Others 
- At around 10 am on June 13, we started the operation of the circulating 
  seawater purification facility installed at the screen area of Unit 2 
  and 3. 
- At 8 pm on June 17, we started operation of Water Treatment Facility 
  against the accumulated water. At 6:00 pm on July 2, we started the 
  circulating injection cooling to inject the water, which was treated by 
  the accumulated water treatment system, to the reactors through the 
  buffer tank. 
- At 7:41 pm on August 19, we started treatment of accumulated water by 
  parallel operation of one line from the cesium adsorption instrument to 
  the decontamination instrument and the other treatment line of the 
  cesium adsorption instrument No.2. 
- At 2:06 pm on October 7, we started to spray purified accumulated water 
  brought from Unit 5 and 6 continually in order to prevent dust 
  scattering and potential fire outbreaks from the cut down trees. 
- On October 28, we started installation of the water proof wall at the 
  sea side, in front of the existing shore protection, Units 1-4, in 
  order to contain marine pollution by underground water. 
- From 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on November 9, transfer of accumulated water 
  from turbine building of unit 6 to temporary tank was conducted. 
- At 9:10 am on November 10, we started transfer of accumulated water 
  from the basement of Unit 2 turbine building to Centralized Radiation 
  Waste Treatment Facility High Temperature Incinerator Building. 
- On November 9, sampling survey of gas at the gas management system of 
  Unit 2 primary containment vessel was implemented. According to its 
  analysis, it is considered that recriticality was not occurred because 
  radioactive Xe135 at the entrance of gas management system of Unit 2 
  was below detection limit (1.1×10-1Bq/cm3). In addition, Xe-135 
  (1.9×10-5Bq/cm3) was detected by charcoal filter. This was measured 
  value and evaluated to be the amount emitted from the gas management 
  system. Thus, the value measured by gas vial was converted into the 
  value of 1.1×10-2Bq/cm3 using achievement rate. This value was the 
  same as 2.7×10-2Bq/cm3 that was evaluated before.
