  primary containment vessel gas management system. As a result of the 
  analysis, we confirmed that at the gate of the system the density of 
  xenon 135 was below the measurable limit (1.1 x 10-1 Bq/cm3) and thus it 
  was lower than the judgment criteria for the recriticality, 1Bq/cm3.

  system in addition to water injection by the reactor feed water system 
  piping arrangement.
  Current water injection volume is approx 0.5 m3/h from the reactor feed 
  water system and approx. 8.2 m3/h from the core spray system.

  the spent fuel pool by an alternative cooling equipment of the Fuel Pool 
  Cooling and Filtering System.
- At 9:35 am on January 12, we stopped the Unit 3 spent fuel pool 
  alternative cooling system in order to install radioactive materials 
  removal equipment in the Unit 3 spent fuel pool. After we completed the 
  installation of the instruments, at 4:46 pm on the same day we restarted 
  the cooling of the pool (temperature of the spent fuel pool: 12.7°C at 
  the time we stopped cooling, 13.1°C after we restarted cooling).

- Because of the finding of accumulated water containing radioactive 
  materials at the trench between the Process Main Building and the 
  Miscellaneous Solid Waste Volume Reduction Treatment Building[High 
  Temperature Incinerator Building](December 18, 2011), we started the 
  inspection of other trenches at the site on January 11.
  In the inspection conducted on January 12 we confirmed puddle water and 
  the results of nuclide analysis as shown below.
  · Unit 1 chemical tank connecting duct 
    I-131: below measurable limit, Cs-134: 2.4×100Bq/cm3 ,Cs-137: 3.5× 
           100Bq/cm3 
  · Unit 3 transformer cable duct for activation
    I-131: below measurable limit, Cs-134: 4.9×101Bq/cm3 ,Cs-137: 6.9×
           101Bq/cm3 
  We confirmed that there was no puddle in the duct for radioactive fluid 
  of Unit 3.

  the basement floor of the turbine building of Unit 2 to the Centralized 
  Radiation Waste Treatment Facility (Miscellaneous Solid Waste Volume 
  Reduction Treatment Building [High Temperature Incinerator Building] and 
  the Process Main Building). At 7:58 am on January 13 we stopped this 
  transfer.
