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 have 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 23 and 24. As a result, no radioactive material 
was detected as described in the appendix. We have reported the results to 
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the government of Ibaraki 
Prefecture.

We will continuously conduct the similar sampling.
