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)

We conducted a nuclide analysis of radioactive materials in the seawater 
sampled on September 7 and 8. As a result, no radioactive material was 
detected as described in the appendix.

We collected only three samples among 5 samples to be collected on August 
30 due to bad weather conditions.

We reported the results to Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the 
government of Ibaraki Prefecture today.

We will continuously conduct the similar sampling.
