On March 21, 2011, we conducted sampling, as a part of monitoring of 
surrounding environments, and detected radioactive materials in the 
seawater around the water discharge canal (of the south side) of 
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which was damaged by the 
Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake. Therefore, we informed Nuclear and 
Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) and the government of Fukushima 
Prefecture of the results. 
Since March 22, we have conducted seawater sampling surveys at four 
points off the shore of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

Since April 17, we have also conducted sampling surveys at four points 
(2 points have been added since April 26, another 3 points since April 
30, and another 1 point since May 5, 10 points in total) of 3 km off 
the shore of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, two points of 8 
km off the shore of the Power Station and 6 points of 15 km off the 
shore of the Power Station and informed them of evaluation results.
Also, we added 2 points each 5 and 30 km off the shore since May 27, 
and 1 point each 5, 15 and 30 km off the shore since June 2.

The data of three detected nuclides (Iodine-131, Cesium-134 and 
Cesium-137) will be reported as fixed data. Other nuclide figures are 
to be re-evaluated.

On September 11, 2011, we conducted sampling to evaluate the spread of 
radioactive materials to the ocean which were detected at Fukushima 
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. As a result, radioactive materials were 
not detected as shown in the attachment. 

Due to bad weather, we called off sampling surveys that were scheduled 
to be conducted yesterday at five points off the shore of the Power 
Station.

We informed NISA and the government of Fukushima Prefecture of the results today. 

We will continuously conduct similar samplings.
