*Updates from previous press release are underlined.

All 6 units of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have been shut down.

Unit 1 (Shut down) 
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed after the big quake 
  occurred at 3:36 pm on March 12, 2011. It was assumed to be hydrogen 
  explosion. 
- At 3:37 pm on March 25, 2011, we started injecting freshwater to the 
  reactor and are now injecting fresh water by a motor driven pump powered 
  by the off-site transmission line. 
- At 10:11 am on December 10, 2011, in addition to water injection from 
  water feeding system, we started water injection from piping of core 
  spray system to the reactor. 
  The current water injection amount from the reactor feed water system is 
  approx. 4.7 m3/h and that from the core spray system is approx. 1.9 m3/h. 
- At 1:31 am on April 7, 2011, we commenced injection of nitrogen gas into 
  Primary Containment Vessel. 
- At 11:22 am on August 10, 2011, we started cyclic cooling for the water 
  in the spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel 
  Pool Cooling and Filtering System. 
- On October 28, 2011, we completed installation of the cover for the 
  Reactor Building in order to contain dispersion of radioactive 
  substances. 
- At 4:04 pm on November 30, 2011, we started operation to inject nitrogen 
  into the reactor pressure vessel. 
- At 6:00 pm on December 19, 2011, a full-scale operation of the PCV gas 
  management system started.

Unit 2 (Shut down) 
- At approximately 6:00 am on March 15, 2011, an abnormal noise began 
  emanating from nearby Pressure Suppression Chamber and the pressure 
  within the chamber decreased. 
- At 10:10 am on March 26, 2011, we started injecting freshwater to the 
  reactor and are now injecting fresh water by a motor driven pump powered 
  by the off-site transmission line. 
- At 2:59 pm on September 14, 2011, in addition to water injection from 
  feed water system, we started water injection from piping of core spray 
  system to the reactor. 
  The current water injection amount from the reactor feed water system is 
  approx. 2.9 m3/h and that from the core spray system is approx.6 m3/h. 
- With regard to the water injection volume for Unit 2 reactor, which was 
  increased with temperature figure raising, we have gradually adjusted it 
  to the original volume before temperature increasing (Feed water system: 
  approx. 3.0m3/h, core spray system: approx. 6.0m3/h). During our 
  observing the plant parameter after decreasing the flow rate of feed 
  water system on February 22, we found that one thermometer in the lower 
  part of the RPV (top of the lower head 135°) indicated the different 
  movement from others. From 12:21 pm to 2:48 pm on February 23, we 
  investigated the concerned device. As the result of the measurement of 
  DC resistance, we found no breaking wire and availability of the 
  thermometer. But we confirmed that the DC resistance of it became higher 
  than the previous measurement test data. We will evaluate the soundness 
  of the concerned device and examine correspondence in future. We make 
  sure no re-criticality state because there were no significant changes 
  at the monitoring post and as the result of the sampling for the Gas 
  Control System of the Unit 2; we confirmed that the concentration of 
  Xe-135 was below the detectible limit. Through the investigation, we 
  confirmed the concerned device is soundness. We submitted the report on 
  the soundness of concerned device and the alternative method for 
  monitoring temperature inside the Reactor of Unit 2 at Fukushima Daiichi 
  Nuclear Power Station to NISA on March 1. We continue the observation of 
  the concerned device. 
  · At 5:00 am on March 6, the temperature of the lower part of the RPV 
    (top of the lower head 135°) : approximate 42.5 °C 
  · At 5:00 am on March 6, the temperature of the lower part of the RPV 
    (top of the lower head 270°) : approximate 40.4 °C(Reference)
