Today, we submitted an application to NISA that will allow us to amend the
Safety Regulations at the Nuclear Reactor Facilities* of Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose was to implement change in the
organizational structure of Daiichi Stabilization Centre in order to
manage medium-and-long term tasks, and implement revisions in accordance
with the actual operations at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

A summary of the application of the amendment of the Safety Regulations
for the Nuclear Reactor Facilities are as follows.

· Tasks for Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have been shifted to
  medium-and-long term tasks towards decommissioning such as the removal
  of fuel along with maintaining a continuous cold shutdown.
  Organizational changes were implemented in order to proceed with the
  tasks as planned, and changes were made to the organizations and duties
  stated in Articles 4, 5, 123 and 124 and the subjects of related
  articles in Chapter 12.
· In consideration of actual operating conditions at Fukushima Daiichi
  Nuclear Power Station, we revised the related articles in Chapter 12.
