We had been studying to implement sampling surveys on the ocean soil,
completed preparations and conducted the surveys on April 29, 2011.
(Previously announced on May 3, 2011)
We conducted nuclide analysis for the ocean soil sampled on September 12.
As a result, radioactive materials were detected as shown in the
attachment.
The sampling surveys planned at three coastal sea areas yesterday were
cancelled due to bad weather.
Today, we reported the results to NISA and the government of Fukushima
Prefecture.
We will continuously conduct the same sampling surveys.
