At around 4:10 pm on January 17, 2012, part of the facilities in
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station stopped temporarily under the
influence of instantaneous voltage drop of Yonomori Line No.1 and 2 due
to the trouble of the switch gear at Minami Iwaki Switch Station. In
keeping with the occurrence, today we received a directive document
titled "Action for instantaneous voltage drop in the transmission system
of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station" from the Nuclear and
Industrial Safety Agency (NISA).

Based on this directive, we will take action to resolve this matter and
report to NISA.
                                                                    End

document received from NISA.  However, at this time we have reserved the

We may provide the English translation that NISA releases in our press
releases. However, in principle we would advise you to visit the NISA
