On April 29, 2011, we started sampling surveys of the seawater at 5 points 
in the 3km offshore area of Ibaraki Prefecture. 

Since June 3, 2011, we conducted sampling surveys of lower layer of the 
seawater. 
                                                    (Previously announced)

Today we conducted a nuclide analysis of radioactive materials in the 
seawater sampled on August 9 and 10, 2011. As a result, radioactive 
materials were not detected as described in the appendix. 

Accordingly, today we reported the result to Nuclear and Industrial Safety 
Agency and the government of Ibaraki Prefecture. We will continuously 
conduct the same sampling surveys.
