Detection of radioactive materials in the soil in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (Continued Report 39)
 
As part of monitoring activity of the surrounding environment, we
conducted an analysis of plutonium contained in the soil collected on
March 21 and 22 at the 5 spots in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
As a result, plutonium 238, 239 and 240 were detected.
                                                    (Previously announced)
 
As a result of nuclide analysis of plutonium contained in the soil
collected on October 31, 2011 at the 3 places where we collect samples
periodically, plutonium 238, 239, 240 were detected as shown in 
appendix 1.

Also, as a result of nuclide analysis of gamma ray contained in the soil
collected on November 7, 2011, radioactivity material were detected as
shown in appendix 2

Today, we informed the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the
