On March 22nd, 2011, as a part of monitoring activity of the surrounding
environments, we conducted nuclide analyses of radioactive materials
contained in the air which were collected at the site of Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Station, which was damaged by the Tohoku- Chihou-Taiheiyou
-Oki Earthquake. As a result, radioactive materials were detected and
therefore, we summarized the results and reported them to Nuclear and
Industry Safety Agency (NISA) as well as to the government of Fukushima
Prefecture.
The analyses results of the three nuclides (Iodine-131, Cesium-134 and
Cesium-137) are to be released as fixed figures, and the other nuclide
figures are to be revaluated.

On May 25th, 2011, we conducted nuclide analyses of radioactive materials
contained in the air which was collected at the site of Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Station on the same day. As a result, some radioactive
materials were detected as described in the appendix. Accordingly, today
we have summarized the results and reported them to NISA and the
government of Fukushima Prefecture.
We collected the air near the monitoring post No.5 in order to correspond
to the changes in power source composition on May 25th, 2011.
We found out that no nuclides (Plutonium-238, Plutonium-239 and
Plutonium-240) were detected as the result of the analyses of the sample
of the air which was collected on May 9th, 2011.
We will continuously conduct the same sampling surveys.
