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).

* The updates are underlined.

[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

- At 10:46 AM on October 8, we started transferring the accumulated water in Unit 1 Turbine Building basement to Unit 2 Turbine Building basement. At 10:03 AM on October 9, the transfer was stopped.

- At 10:20 AM on October 8, we started transferring the accumulated water from Unit 4 Turbine Building basement to the Central Radioactive Waste Treatment Facility (Miscellaneous Solid Waste Volume Reduction Treatment Building [High Temperature Incinerator Building]). At 10:23 AM on October 9, the transfer was stopped.

[Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station]
・Unit 1 to 4: Shutdown due to the earthquake.

- At around 2:25 PM on October 5, a TEPCO employee fell down from the opening of the ball collector pit (approx. 4m high) located outside of Unit 4 (uncontrolled area) during repair/paint work of the pit frame. The injured worker was transported to the clinic in J-Village at 3:37 PM on the same day upon judgment by a doctor at the clinic in the power station. The worker is currently being examined at the clinic in J-Village. The worker is conscious and no radioactive material is attached on his body. Upon judgment by a doctor at the clinic in J-Village, an ambulance was called at around 5:21 PM on the same day to transport the worker to Fukushima Accident Hospital. As a result of a medical examination, the worker was diagnosed to have fractures of the transverse process of the fourth lumbar vertebra and the spine of the fifth lumbar vertebra, which will take a month to heal. The cause of this injury is currently being investigated. Recurrence prevention measures will be determined based on the identified cause.
