At around 12:42 pm on March 27, 2012, during the work to receive samples (water) for performance verification test of ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) which were carried in from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, at Service Building of Unit 3 and 4 of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station, our employee has found the pollution due to radioactive materials on the table next to the small monitor in the check point to check the pollution of the goods when leaving controlled area (uncontrolled area*1).
On the same day, we have received an instruction*2 "Collecting the report regarding transportation of the sampling water from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station to Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station" from the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
(Announced on March 27, 2012)
Based on this instruction, we have conducted the investigation about the samples (water) for performance verification test of ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) which were carried in from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and about the transportation and summarized the results. Today we have submitted the report to NISA.
