 ○Regular inspection of monitoring posts 
 Among monitoring post (total of 7), which are installed at site boundary, 
 we are implementing regular inspection for No. 1 - 6 (1 monitoring post 
 per day) from July 29.
 In the period of inspection, although it is impossible to measure 
 radiation dose at such monitoring post, we will continue to measure and 
 confirm the data by using remainder of 6 monitoring posts.
 Inspection date might be changed due to the weather.

 (Operation Results of Regular Inspection)
   No. 6: July 29, 9:31 am - 6:30 pm in regular inspection
   No. 1: August 2, 9:31 am - August 3, 2:30 pm 
    *Slight changes in the data were confirmed before and after the 
     inspection of monitoring posts. However, those changes are subject to 
     the adjustments within the range of measurement devices' allowable 
     margin of error and are not caused by environmental radiation dose or 
     detectors' troubles.
