At around 9:30 am on April 2nd, 2011, we detected water containing 
radiation dose over 1,000 mSv/h in the pit* where power supply cables 
are stored near the intake channel of Unit 2. Furthermore, there was a 
crack of about 20 cm length on the concrete lateral of the pit, from 
where the water in the pit was outflowing to the ocean. At around 0:20 
pm on April 2nd, we reaffirmed the event at the scene.
We have implemented sampling of the water in the pit, together with the 
seawater in front of the bar screen near the pit. These samples were 
sent to Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station for analyses.

At around 5:38 am on April 6th, we have observed stoppage of spilling 
of water to the ocean from the crack on the concrete lateral of the pit. 
For the sake of completeness, we put further reinforcement for the 
stoppage of leakage and consider countermeasures including continuous 
injection of coagulant. We also note the water level of the turbine 
building of Unit 2 remains unchanged. We will further investigate if 
there is any other leakage.

Since April 5th we have been conducting sampling surveys of the water 
in the pit and the seawater in front of the bar screen near the pit. 
Regarding the survey results of the detection of three nuclides 
(iodine 131, cesium 134, cesium 137), we report those as definite 
results. As for other nuclides, we will revaluate in accordance with 
the preventive measures formulated after receiving a warning from 
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) on April 1st.

On April 12th, due to the installation of silt fences, we changed the 
sampling points from the front of the bar screen of Unit 4 to the north 
and the south of the inside of the water intake canal of Units 1 to 4. 
Since April 17th, we have been conducting an additional sampling survey 
at the outside of the silt fence in front of the bar screen of Unit 2, 
in order to assess the effect of the installation of the silt fence.

On April 24th, 2011, we collected samples from the water in the pit and 
the seawater in front of the bar screen near the pit, and conducted 
nuclide analyses of radioactive materials in the water. As a result, 
some radioactive materials were detected as described in the exhibit. 
Accordingly, we have reported the result of the analyses to NISA and 
the government of Fukushima Prefecture.
