*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. 1.7 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. 
-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. 2.7 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 16, the temperature of the lower part of the RPV 
  (top of the lower head 135°) : approximately 40.8 °C 
 ·At 5:00 am on March 16, the temperature of the lower part of the RPV 
  (top of the lower head 270°) : approximately 41.1 °C (Reference)

 fuel pool desalting facility.
-At 10:31 am on March 13, 2012, because the suction pressure of the 
 primary system Circulating Water Pump had a tendency to decrease in the 
 substitute cooling system of spent fuel pool, we stopped the cooling of 
 spent fuel pool in order to change the primary system Strainer to manual 
 cleaning system and conduct the check of valves etc. until March 16. The 
 temperature rise on this period is expected approx. 21 °C. (Temperature 
 of water in spent fuel pool when we stopped: approx. 14.1 °C)
