On March 28 2011, we were advised from Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan to
enhance sampling surveys regarding water accumulated in underground floor of
the turbine buildings of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. In order
to verify any leakages to underground and sea, and safety, we have been
implementing the sampling surveys of subsurface water and seawater.
Regarding sampling surveys of sub-drains, based on the instruction from
Nuclear and Industry Safety Agency (NISA) on April 14th, we will continue
conducting the same kind of sampling surveys three times a week, and inform
the result on the next day of the survey.
(Previously announced)
On June 17, 2011, we conducted sampling surveys regarding sub-drains
(subsurface water obtained and managed in the site) near the turbine
buildings of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Today, we reported
to NISA and the government of Fukushima Prefecture, since, as the results
of nuclide analyses, radioactive materials were detected as shown in the
attachment.
