Today, we submitted the application for the amendment to the Safety 
Regulations for Nuclear Reactor Facilities* of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear 
Power Plant to NISA for the purpose to prescribe the operation rules of 
PCV gas control system of Unit 1 and to change the job duties at Fukushima 
Daiichi Stabilizing Centre, because we started full scale operation in PCV 
gas control system of unit 1 and completed the Step 2 of "Roadmap towards 
Restoration from the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station".

The application summaries of the amendment to the Safety Regulations for 
Nuclear Reactor Facilities are as follows.

○It prescribes the operation rules of PCV gas control system of unit 1, 
because the consecutive monitoring for the short half-life radionuclide 
was enable by the radiation detector in PCV gas control system.

○It is changed the job duties at Fukushima Daiichi Stabilizing Centre, 
because of the complete the Step2 of "Roadmap towards Restoration from the 
Accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station"

                                                                       End
