On June 21, 2011, we started sampling surveys of the seawater at 6 points
in the offshore area of Miyagi Prefecture. 
                                                    (Previously announced)

Today we conducted a nuclide analysis of radioactive materials in the
seawater sampled on December 7. As a result, no radioactive materials were
detected as described in the appendix.

Today, we reported the results of the analysis to Nuclear and Industrial
Safety Agency and the government of Miyagi Prefecture. 

We will continuously conduct the same sampling surveys.
