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, we have compiled the roadmap towards restoration from the 
accident and then we updated the progress status of roadmap considering the 
current situation, on July 19. Accomplishment of the Step1 target 
"Radiation dose is in steady decline" has been confirmed. On August 17, we 
updated the further progress. 
By bringing the reactors and spent fuel pools to a stable cooling condition 
and mitigating the release of radioactive materials, we will make every 
effort to enable evacuees to return to their homes and for all citizens to 
be able to secure a sound life.

Below is the status of TEPCO's major facilities.

*Updates are underlined.

[Nuclear Power Station]
- Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station:
    Units 1 to 3: shutdown due to the earthquake
    (Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspections) 

* At approximately 12:40 pm on September 14, we found the inside of 
  full-face masks, which were used by 4 out of 6 partner company workers, 
  contaminated when we were checking the contamination of the masks used in 
  maintenance work of the water treatment system. Then, as a result of the 
  measurement by whole body counter, we have evaluated that no one took in 
  radioactive materials.

* At approximately 4 pm on September 14, a TEPCO employee who returned from 
  the patrol on the generators of Unit 1 - 4 (outdoors) to Visitors Hall of 
  Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station got decontaminated since 
  contamination at his chin and neck was detected. Then as a result of thev 
  measurement by whole body counter, we have evaluated that no radioactive 
  materials was taken in.

* At 3:58 am on September 13, we stopped the operation of cesium adsorption 
  instruments and decontamination instruments for the maintenance of the 
  water treatment facility. At 6:16 pm on September 14, we started those 
  instruments, and the rated flow was achieved at 7:20 pm.

* At approximately 8:18 am on September 15, we found a partner company 
  worker unequipped with a charcoal filter to the full-faced mask after the 
  worker entered the site of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. We 
  will check the worker by whole body counter if he took in radioactive 
  materials.

- Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station:
    Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake

- Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Station:
    Units 5, 6: under normal operation
    (Units 1 to 4 and 7: outage due to regular inspections)

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

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

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

[Impacts on Power Supply and Demand Balance]
Thanks to our all customer's energy-saving efforts, we could successfully 
maintain an even supply-demand balance in this summer. We express our 
deepest appreciation to the efforts.

While we will continue to exert maximum effort to stabilize the 
supply-demand balance, we kindly request your continued efforts in keeping 
electricity consumption within reasonable levels.
