Due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake which occurred on March 11, 2011, TEPCO's facilities including our nuclear power stations have been severely damaged. We deeply apologize for the anxiety and inconvenience caused.
With regard to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, on April 17, 2011, we have compiled the roadmap towards restoration from the accident and on July 19 we accomplished the Step1 target "Radiation dose is in steady decline". Then on December 16 we confirmed the accomplishment of the Step 2 target "Release of radioactive materials is under control and radiation doses are being significantly held down".
In addition, on December 21, 2011, we have compiled the "Mid-to-long-Term Roadmap toward the Decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Units 1-4, TEPCO".
In addition to the maintenance of the plant's stable condition, we will implement Mid-to-Long Term countermeasures towards the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Units 1-4 to enable evacuees to return to their homes as soon as possible and reduce the anxiety of the people in Fukushima and the whole nation as soon as possible.
Below is the status of TEPCO's nuclear power stations (Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushima Daini).
* The updates are underlined.
[Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station]
· Unit 1 to 3: shut down due to the earthquake
· Unit 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections before the earthquake
* At 10:00 am on April 16, we started transferring of accumulated water from the basement of turbine building of Unit 6 to the temporary tank.
* We started the transfer of the accumulated water in the circulation pump exhaustion pit of Unit 2, whose water level rose after the water transfer to Unit 2 turbine building from February 20 to February 22, and after that became stabilized at the level before transfer, to the basement floor of Unit 2 turbine building at 12:28 pm on April 15. At 6:04 pm on the same day, we stopped transferring (the amount of transferred water was 160m3). At 8:04 am on April 16, we started transferring of the accumulated water in the circulation pump exhaustion pit of Unit 2 to the basement of Unit 2 turbine building.
