Worker Security and Improved Work Environment Efforts being made to secure personnel over long term while managing amount of worker radiation exposure. Further efforts made for continuous improvement of work environment while understanding worker needs. Changes in number of workers Improving work environment Large rest house Number of workers per weekday (TEPCO employees and contractors) engaged in work during March assumed as approximately 6,390 people. Percentage of locally born workers approximately 50% in Jan. Large rest house with a capacity of approx. 1,200 workers (from May 2015) Convenience store Lawson opened on March 1, 2016 New office building close to the field (from 2014) Change in the average number of workers (actual value) per weekday in the months following 2013. Ensuring stable long-term employment Currently, more than 90% of orders fulfilled by negotiated contracts, which enables contractors to secure workers in a long term.

Response after the tsunami -- Recovery Actions toward Cold Shutdown -- 1. Plant status Plants shutdown safely Loss of cooling function: pumps and motors on the sea side Possible failure of confining function (PCV) 2. Strategy Restoration of cooling function 3. Actions Check equipment operability Prioritize restoration targets Replace motors, laying cables 4. Cooling function restored 5. Cold shut down and keep that status Walkdown on the sea side Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 9
Robustness For Further Enhancement of Safety Improve robustness to decrease risks against external events Resilience Improve capability of flexible and efficient response Even if we have a flat tire, spare tires and tools are available, and the personnel have the skills to use them in order to replace the flat tire themselves. Safety Goals to minimize social impact Filter vent to minimize contamination Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 10
Recovery Actions toward Cold Shutdown Walkdown to identify damage of equipment (Midnight, March 11) Under continuous tsunami alerts, walkdown must be done in the field where a lot of debris, openings and flooding areas existed in the dark. Emergency procurement of materials and equipment (March 12) Emergency procurement of motors, cable, mobile power vehicles, fuel oil and mobile transformers with close cooperation between site ERC and corporate ERC. Equipment and power restoration work in the field (March 13) Motors were replaced. Temporary cables were laid to supply power from undamaged power cubicles. Temporary cables of 9 km length were laid by about 200 employees within a day. Usually this size of cable laying requires 20 employees and more than 1 month period. Procurement of Power Supply Vehicles Replacement of a motor Reactor cooling started with restored RHR pumps (March 14) Various efforts enabled us to achieve cold shutdown at all units at 7:15 on March 15 th, 2011.
