As a result of the analysis of plutonium contained in the soil collected 
on December 5, 2011 at the 3 places where we collect samples periodically, 
plutonium 238, 239 and 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.
