On June 21, 2011, we started sampling surveys of the seawater at 6 points
in the offshore area of Miyagi Prefecture. 
                                                    (Previously announced)

Today we conducted a nuclide analysis of radioactive materials in the
seawater sampled on August 24. 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 Miyagi Prefecture. We will continuously
conduct the same sampling surveys.
