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 12:20 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. 

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 them 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 outside 
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 May 3rd, 2011, we conducted sampling survey of the water in the pit and 
the seawater in front of the bar screen near the pit, and conducted nuclide 
analysis 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 analysis to NISA and the 
government of Fukushima Prefecture.

We also reported the result of the sampling survey of the water collected 
in the upper layer and the lower layer of the ocean inside the silt fence 
in front of the bar screen of Unit 2, which we conducted on May 3rd, 2011, 
apart from the sampling surveys we conduct everyday.

We will continue to conduct the same kind of sampling surveys.
