Electric utilities will promote CO2 emission reduction measures to attain simultaneous achievement of the 3Es, thereby contributing to building a low-carbon society. → It is important to appropriately take into account not only environmental aspects, but also energy security and economy. Stable supply of quality / affordable electricity to the customer Energy security Economy Environmental conservation 16 In Pursuit of the “Best Mix” of Energy Sources Japan has a fragile energy supply-and-demand structure, with few natural resources, a low energy self-sufficiency rate. To meet electricity demand that has been steadily increasing in these tens of years, continued action is taken to ensure stable supply and deal with the problem of global warming through the “best mix,” by shifting the focus of power source development from hydro through large-capacity thermal to nuclear power generation. Changes in Percentage Distribution of Power Sources of All Electric Power Companies (Generated Output Basis) Percentage of non-fossil power sources To 50% in 2020 2019plan Mainly hydro supported by thermal Manly thermal supported by hydro “Best mix” centering on nuclear Source: Summary of Power Sources Development and others. Percentages for FY2019 are based on the FY2010 supply plan. 17 Japan’s Nuclear Policy It is very important for Japan to establish the nuclear fuel cycle project due to its poor energy selfsufficiency rate, so as to further improve the features of nuclear power generation and allow for a long-term stable electricity supply. For example, Japan has created basic policies to continue promoting nuclear power generation and to steadily advance the nuclear fuel cycle. Electric utilities are promoting the use of nuclear energy based on these basic policies. <Basic Policies> Framework for Nuclear Energy Policy (approved by the Cabinet in October 2005) ○ It is aimed that nuclear power generation either maintain or increase the current supplied energy level - 30 to 40% of the generated output - beyond 2030. ○ Utilization of materials such as plutonium and uranium recovered through spent fuel reprocessing will be included in the basic policies. ○ Commercial adoption of the fast breeder reactor will begin in 2050. <Concrete Measures> Nuclear Nation Establishment Plan (August 2006) (1) Efforts to achieve a percentage of nuclear power generation at or greater than present levels over a medium to long term. (2) Steady promotion of the nuclear fuel cycle and strategic reinforcement of cycle-related tasks (3) Early commercialization of the fast breeder reactor cycle (4) Ensuring and developing robust technologies, industries, and human resources (5) Support for international development of Japan’s nuclear industry (6) Active involvement in the development of an international framework to expand nuclear power generation and ensure nuclear non-proliferation (7) Coexistence of nuclear energy and the general public / local community (8) Steady promotion of radwaste measures 18 Initiatives to Promote Nuclear Power Generation On the major premise of public acceptance and regional coexistence, all utilities efforts will be put into maximizing the potential of existing nuclear power stations, promoting new plant construction and replacement, and establishing the nuclear fuel cycle to achieve the goal of promoting nuclear power generation. To contribute to maintaining and expanding the world’s nuclear energy, it is important to gain international trust by continuing stable operation of domestic nuclear power stations. We will then make international contributions, taking advantage of the features of Japan’s technologies. Public Acceptance and Regional Coexistence Understanding the necessity of nuclear energy, to realize stable energy supply and a low-carbon society Utilizing existing nuclear power stations Improving safety and reliability Steady promotion of safe and stable operation Improvements toward scientific and logical regulations and systems Smooth promotion of new plant construction / addition and replacement Establishing the nuclear fuel cycle Contributing to maintaining and expanding the world’s nuclear energy International contributions taking advantage of the features of Japan’s technologies on the major premise of safe and stable operation in Japan 19 Utilizing existing nuclear power stations Current Status of Nuclear Power Generating Operations ○ ○ As of the end of January 2010, 54 commercial nuclear power station units generating 4,884.7 x 10 4 kW are in operation. In FY2009, nuclear power stations generated 2,785 x 108 kWh, accounting for approximately 30% of Japan’s total generated output.

Based on this assessment, a “long-term maintenance plan” will be mapped out, putting together new measures to be added to maintenance management activities. Under the new inspection system, a “long-term maintenance management policy” (equivalent to a long-term maintenance plan” will be developed and described in the Technical Specifications for the approval of the national government. ○ 30th year 9 40th year 50th year T1 30t h year engineering assessment 40t h year engineering assessment 8 1F2 50t h year engineering assessment 7 20 units completed※ (As of June 2010) T2 SM1 SD1 6 T1 GN1 5 1F2 SD2 SM1 K1 I1 M2 SD1 2F3 H3 To2 O1 M1 GN2 2F1 OG1 T4 M3 2F4 1F4 TM1 K2 Tsu2 1F5 SM2 '19 H2 4 T1 3 2 Tsu1 1F2 1 M1 1F1 M2 0 Year '00 '01 '02 '03 T2 SM1 GN1 '04 '05 M3 To2 O2 1F3 1F4 1F6 Tsu1 1F1 O2 H1 I1 1F5 O1 M1 GN2 I2 0 2F2 T3 1F3 '06 '07 '08 '09 '10 '11 '12 '13 '14 '15 '16 '17 1F6 '18 OG1 Tsu1 1F1 H4 2F2 M2 K3 I3 O3 2F1 SK1 K4 K5 TM2 I2 O4 GN3 '20 '21 '22 '23 '24 24 *For Tsuruga-1 and Mihama-1, 40th-year engineering assessments have already been completed.

To do so, it is necessary to develop a mid/long-term business environment to allow for investment in nuclear power generation.
