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.
- Regarding spent fuel pool for unit 4, from August 20 to November 8, we 
  had decreased salinity by using the desalting facility. In order to 
  decrease more salinity, we installed Ion exchange equipment and started 
  the equipment at 10:58 am on November 29.
- 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.
- From November 28, we started cleaning to avoid the performance 
  deterioration of pumps by sucking up sands etc. accumulated at the bottom 
  of the inlet canal pump room.
- 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.

  through the Residual Heat Removal System and the spent fuel pool through 
  Equipment Cooling Water System and Fuel Pool Cooling System.
- At this moment, we do not think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside PCV. 
 
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.
- At 9:25 am on November 15, we started transfer of accumulated water from 
  basement of Unit 3 turbine building to Centralized Radiation Waste 
  Treatment Facility Building.
- At 6:03 pm on November 30, we started transfer of the accumulated water 
  from the basement of Unit 2 turbine building to Centralized Radiation 
  Waste Treatment Facility High Temperature Incinerator Building.
- At 11:33 am on December 4, workers of cooperative company found that 
  there was puddle water inside the barrier around the evaporative 
  condensation apparatus (the estimated volume of water was approx. 45 m3). 
  At 11:52 am, we stopped the evaporative condensation apparatus 3A, and 
  at 12:14 pm, workers made visual inspection of the apparatus and the 
  leakage seemed stopped. After that, we conducted investigation and at 
  2:30 pm, we found that there is a crack in the barrier made of concrete, 
  that water was leaking to the gutter (surface dose rate of leaked water: 
  beta ray 110 mSv/h, gamma ray 1.8 mSv/h) and that leaked water was 
  distilled through the gap between the barrier and base concrete. We are 
  considering emergency response to stop leakage of water to the outside 
  of the barrier. In the meantime, the water desalination apparatus 
  (reverse osmosis membrane type) is continuing operation. As we have 
  sufficient volume of desalinated water, there is no impact on the Reactor 
  water injection. We piled sandbags around the gap and in the gutter and, 
  at 3:30 pm, we confirmed the leakage was stopped. In addition, the 
  accumulated water inside the barrier was transferred to waste liquid RO 
  tank by under water pump etc. from 6:10 pm to 10:20 pm. Meanwhile, 
  because the gutter is connected to general drainage canal in the power 
  station, water in general drainage canal around the evaporative 
  condensation apparatus and seawater around south discharge channel, 
  which is located the exit of general drainage canal, was sampled. As a 
  result of nuclide analysis, the result was similar extent of or slightly 
  higher than the latest one of published daily analysis. 
- At 10:00 am on December 5, accumulated water in the turbine building of 
  Unit 6 was started to be transferred to a temporary tank.
