Following on the heels of the discussions TEPCO has held up until now with 
the municipalities of Niigata Prefecture concerning communication response 
measures in the event of equipment failures or accidents at Kashiwazaki 
Kariwa Nuclear Power Station, effective as of February 9th, 2012, TEPCO 
has entered into the "TEPCO Kashiwazaki Nuclear Power Station Emergency 
Reporting Agreement" (hereafter "Reporting Agreement"), with 28 
municipalities (Please see the Attachment 1).

Hereafter, in the event of equipment failures or accidents, and other 
events necessitating immediate media attention, we will promptly issue 
reports to each municipality based on the "Reporting Agreement". 

We will continue to issue timely, precise and easy to understand updates 
to the national government, local municipalities and local residents while 
endeavoring to ensure that Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station is safe 
and disaster-resistant.
