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).
* There is no update from the previous release.
[Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station]
·Unit 1 to 4: Abolishment (April 19, 2012)
·Unit 5 to 6: Outage due to regular inspections before the earthquake
[Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station]
·Unit 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake
*Regarding Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, we described "Unit 1 to 3: Shut down due to the earthquake" and "Unit 4 to 6: Outage due to regular inspections before the earthquake" in the previous daily reports. However, Unit 1 to 4 were decided to be abolished on April 19, 2012. Thus, the description is corrected as "Unit 1 to 4: Abolishment (April 19, 2012)" and "Unit 5 to 6: Outage due to regular inspections before the earthquake". We apologize for the correction.
