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 October 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.

* The underlined parts are the updates from the previous press release.

[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)

- At 9:06 pm on October 19, in the water treatment facilities under
  operation, a SMZ pump of the 4th process line of cesium adsorption
  apparatus automatically stopped. A pump of the 3rd process line is
  continuously operated. Water treatment by the cesium adsorption
  apparatus is also continuously operated at the flow rate approx. 17m3/h
  (the flow rate before the automatic stop was approx. 20m3/h).

·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.
