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, per the instruction from Nuclear
and Industry Safety Agency (NISA) on April 14th, we will continue the same
kind of sampling surveys three times a week, and inform the result on the
next day of the survey.

As a result of analysis from the sample regarding sub-drains (subsurface
water obtained and managed in the site) near the turbine buildings of
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station collected on July 11, Plutonium
were not detected as shown in the attachment.
