Press Release (Aug 03,2011)
Nuclide Analysis Results of Radioactive Materials in the Air at the Site of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (131st release)
On March 22, 2011, as a part of monitoring activity of the surrounding 
environments, we conducted nuclide analyses of radioactive materials 
contained in the air which was 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.
                                                (Previously announced)

On August 2, 2011, we conducted nuclide analysis 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, radioactive material 
was not detected as described in the appendix. 
Moreover, we increased twelve sampling points at the site of Fukushima 
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station with the aim of improving and strengthening 
environment monitoring. As a result of yesterday's sampling survey at three 
out of the twelve points, 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 will continuously conduct the same sampling surveys.
