	September 25	Tomari 1 & 2	A defect was found in the monitor data transfer of the discharge structure of Units 1 & 2. A defect had occurred in the transmission of data in the monitoring station.
	October 4	Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 5	Accident involving inability to withdraw control rods (02-27) that occurred during a control rod action test as part of a functional inspection of the control rod drive hydraulic pressure system.
	October 10	Fukushima Daiichi 5	Dropout of the minimum flowrate bypass valve on the core spray system (B).
	October 16	Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 5	Deformation of water rods in two fuel assemblies.
	October 26	Genkai 3	Reduction in thickness of SG tubes in component cooling water heat exchanger B.
	November 3	Ikata 1	Defective reading from neutron flux detector.
	November 3	Hamaoka 4	Of 72 rotor blades detached from the 12th stage of the generator side of the low-pressure turbine (B), bending damage was discovered on the attachment base (rotary blade side) on 4 of the blades, and fissures on the attachment base (rotary blade side) on 11 of the blades.
	November 15	Onagawa 3	Foreign object discovered on the lower part of the first spacer of a fuel assembly.
	November 24	Hamaoka 3	Fractures found in the attachment base of rotary blades in the 12th stage of the high-pressure turbine side and the 12th stage of the generating side of the low pressure turbine (C).
	November 30	Tokai 2	Leakage of waste cleaning liquid outside of a controlled area.	Law
	December 3	Onagawa 1	Corrosion on the second injection isolation valve in residual heat removal system A.
	December 12	Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 5	It was confirmed that fuel rods inside the two fuel assemblies in which deformed water rods had been discovered on October 16 had come into contact with each other and that they did not possess the necessary function.	Law
