On March 21st, 2011, we conducted sampling surveys, as a part of
monitoring of surrounding environments, and detected radioactive materials
in the seawater around the water discharge canal (of the south side) of
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which was damaged by the
Tohoku - Pacific Ocean Earthquake. Therefore, we informed Nuclear and
Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) and the government of Fukushima Prefecture
of the results. 
Since March 22nd, we have conducted seawater sampling surveys at four
points off the shore of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (twice
a day at two points out of such four points since March 26th). 

Since April 17, we have also conducted sampling surveys at four points (2
points are added since April 26, another 3 points from April 30, total of
9 points) of 3 km off the shore of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
two points of 8 km off the shore of the Power Station and 6 points of
15 km off the shore of the Power Station and informed them of evaluation
results.

The data of three detected nuclides (Iodine-131, Cesium-134 and Cesium-137)
will be reported as fixed data. Other nuclide figures are to be
re-evaluated based on the improved measures for recurrence prevention
which have been prepared in accordance to a warning from NISA on April 1st.

On May 2nd, 2011, we conducted sampling surveys to evaluate the spread of
radioactive materials to the ocean which were detected at
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Since the radioactive materials
were detected as shown in the exhibit, we informed NISA and the government
of Fukushima Prefecture of the results.

As to sampling surveys at 17 points offshore, surveys were conducted at
seven points due to bad weather yesterday. 

We will continuously conduct the similar sampling surveys.
