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.

As a result of nuclide analysis of plutonium contained in the soil 
collected on November 14, 2011 at the 3 places where we collect samples 
periodically, plutonium 238, 239, 240 were detected as shown in attachment.

Today, we informed the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the 
government of Fukushima Prefecture of the results.

We will continuously conduct the same sampling surveys.
