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 major facilities. 
 
* The updates are underlined.

[Nuclear Power Station]  
·Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station: Unit 1 to 3: shut down due to the 
 earthquake:
  (Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections before the earthquake) 
 
 *With regard to the thermometer placed at the lower part of RPV (top of 
  the lower head 135°)  whose trend were different  while others showed 
  the increasing trend after we decreased the water injection rate to the 
  Unit 2 Reactor from the feed water system on February 22, we reported to 
  Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of Ministry of Economy, Trade and 
  Industry on March 1. We will continue monitoring this thermometer.
   ·At 11:00 am on March 14, the temperature of the lower part of the RPV 
    (top of the lower head 135°) : approx. 39.7 °C 
   ·At 11:00 am on March 14, the temperature of the lower part of the RPV 
    (top of the lower head 270°) : approx. 40.6 °C (reference) 
 
 *On March 14, in order to prevent diffusion of marine soil in the port, we 
  started the construction that covers the marine soil with solidified mud 
  (armouring units) in earnest. 
 
·Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station: 
 Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake 
 
·Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station: 
 Units 6: under normal operation 
  (Units 1 to 5 and 7: outage due to regular inspections)

[Thermal Power Station] 
·Power supply has returned to normal and the facilities damaged by the 
 earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.

[Hydro Power Station] 
·Power supply has returned to normal and the facilities damaged by the 
 earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.

[Impacts on Transmission Facilities] 
·Power supply has returned to normal and the facilities damaged by the 
 earthquake are now being handled in a timely manner.

[Impacts on Power Supply and Demand Balance] 
We expect to maintain stable power supply in March.
Daily supply and demand balance is announced at our "TEPCO Electricity 
Forecast".
