Currently, a large quantity of radioactive wastewater exists inside the 
turbine building of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. In this 
regard, on April 10th, we received a direction from Minister of Economy, 
Trade and Industry to report on matters in connection with transfer of 
high level radioactive wastewater to the Centralized Radiation Waste 
Treatment Facility, such as necessity, assessment of safety, plans on 
permanent safety storage of wastewater and treatment facilities.
                               (Previously announced on April 15th, 2011)
 
Since we completed implementing measures to prevent leakage in the main 
process building of the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility, 
we compiled the details based on the direction given and reported to 
Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry on April 18th, 2011. Concurrently, 
the content of the report has been confirmed by Nuclear and Industrial 
Safety Agency.

From April 19th, 2011, we have been continuously transferring high 
radioactive wastewater from the turbine building of Unit 2 to the Process 
Main Building of the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility.
 
Since the level of radioactive wastewater in the turbine building of Unit 
3 is increasing, we have been implementing prevention of leakage in the 
Miscellaneous Solid Waste Volume Reduction Treatment Building of the 
Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility. As the prevention work in 
the misc solid waste capacity reduction facility is completed, we compiled 
the details based on the direction given and reported to Minister of 
Economy, Trade and Industry. The content of the report has been confirmed 
by Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.
 
Based on the method described in the report, we will start transferring 
high level radioactive wastewater from the turbine building of Unit 3 to 
the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility once we complete 
preparation.
