  system in addition to water injection by the reactor feed water system 
  piping arrangement. 
  Water is currently injected at approx. 2 ㎥/h through reactor feed water 
  system piping arrangement, and at approx. 6.1 ㎥/h through core spray 
  system water injection piping arrangement.
- At 7:47 pm on June 30, 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 8:01 pm on July 14, injection of nitrogen gas into the Primary 
  Containment Vessel started. 
- At 4:26 pm on November 30, we started operation to inject nitrogen into 
  the reactor pressure vessel. 
 
Unit 4 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- At around 6 am on March 15, we confirmed the explosive sound and the 
  sustained damage around the 5th floor rooftop area of Reactor Building.
- At 12:44 pm on July 31, 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.
- Regarding spent fuel pool for unit 4, from August 20 to November 8, we 
  had decreased salinity by using the desalting facility. In order to 
  decrease more salinity, we installed Ion exchange equipment and started 
  the equipment at 10:58 am on November 29.
- At this moment, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside the primary containment vessel. 
 
Unit 5 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained.
- At 5:00 am on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System Pump 
  in order to cool the spent fuel pool.
- At 2:30 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown.
- At 2:45 pm on July 15, we started the operation of the original Residual 
  Heat Removal System (System B) by its original seawater pump.
- From November 28, we started cleaning to avoid the performance 
  deterioration of pumps by sucking up sands etc. accumulated at the 
  bottom of the inlet canal pump room.
- At this moment, we don't think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside the primary containment vessel. 
 
Unit 6 (Outage due to regular inspection) 
- Sufficient level of reactor coolant to ensure safety is maintained.
- At 10:14 pm on March 19, we started the Residual Heat Removal System 
  Pump of Unit 6 to cool down Spent Fuel Pool.
- At 7:27 pm on March 20, the reactor achieved cold shutdown. 
- At 2:33 pm on September 15, we started separately cooling the reactor 
  through the Residual Heat Removal System and the spent fuel pool through 
  Equipment Cooling Water System and Fuel Pool Cooling System.
- At this moment, we do not think there is any reactor coolant leakage 
  inside PCV. 
 
Others 
- At around 10 am on June 13, we started the operation of the circulating 
  seawater purification facility installed at the screen area of Unit 2 
  and 3.
- At 8 pm on June 17, we started operation of Water Treatment Facility 
  against the accumulated water. At 6:00 pm on July 2, we started the 
  circulating injection cooling to inject the water, which was treated by 
  the accumulated water treatment system, to the reactors through the 
  buffer tank.
- At 7:41 pm on August 19, we started treatment of accumulated water by 
  parallel operation of one line from the cesium adsorption instrument to 
  the decontamination instrument and the other treatment line of the 
  cesium adsorption instrument No.2. 
- At 2:06 pm on October 7, we started to spray purified accumulated water 
  brought from Unit 5 and 6 continually in order to prevent dust 
  scattering and potential fire outbreaks from the cut down trees.
- On October 28, we started installation of the water proof wall at the 
  sea side, in front of the existing shore protection, Units 1-4, in order 
  to contain marine pollution by underground water.
- At 9:25 am on November 15, we started transfer of accumulated water from 
  basement of Unit 3 turbine building to Centralized Radiation Waste 
  Treatment Facility Building.
- At 6:03 pm on November 30, we started transfer of the accumulated water 
  from the basement of Unit 2 turbine building to Centralized Radiation 
  Waste Treatment Facility High Temperature Incinerator Building.
- From 10:00 am on December 1 to 4:00 pm on December 2, we transferred of 
  the accumulated water from Unit 6 turbine building to Temporary Tank.
- On December 2, as we finished the construction work to reinforce on-site 
  power, we stopped the evaporative concentration apparatus at 6:00 pm on 
  December 2, the water desalinations (reverse osmosis membrane type) at 
  8:04 am on December 3 and the cesium adsorption apparatus at 8:04 am on 
  December 3, respectively, in order to start receiving power from the 
  power source. As for the second cesium adsorption apparatus, it is 
  operated without interruption and the treatment of accumulated water is 
  in progress. There is no adverse effect to water injection into the 
  reactor, as purified water in the buffer tank is utilized. We restarted 
  the water desalinations (reverse osmosis membrane type) at 1:30 pm on 
  December 3 and the cesium adsorption apparatus at 2:22 pm after power 
  receiving operation. 
 
- At around 11:00 am on December 3, the water leaked form the cutting 
  point during the cutting work of the hot-water boiler pipe to demolish 
  the machine room etc, which is east side of the building next to service 
  building unit 1 and 2. At 11:30 am on the same day, we found it stopped 
  leaking. The water came from the residual water of the hot-water boiler 
  tank (tank capacity: 14㎥) and there is no obvious radiation dosage 
  differences between the water leakage area and the around of the 
  background level.
