On March 21, 2011, we conducted sampling, 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-Taiheiyou-
Oki Earthquake. Therefore, we informed Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency 
(NISA) and the government of Fukushima Prefecture of the results. 
Since March 22, 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 26).

Since April 17, we have also conducted sampling surveys at four points (2 
points have been added since April 26, another 3 points since April 30, and 
another 1 point since May 5, 10 points in total) 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.
Also, we added another 4 points off the shore since May 27 and 3 points off 
the shore since June 2.

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.

On July 7, 2011, we conducted sampling 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 
attachment, today, we informed NISA and the government of Fukushima 
Prefecture of the results.

On June 13 and 14, 2011, we analyzed Strontium in the seawater sampled on 
June 13 and 14. As a result, Strontium-89 and 90 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 will continuously conduct the similar sampling.
