Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report 2013

This is follow-up information regarding the water leak from the underground reservoirs at Fukushima Daiichi NPS.

Today (April 17), chloride concentration analysis was performed in the drain holes of the underground reservoirs No.1-7 (at 14 locations) and the leakage detection holes (samples could not be collected at 2 out of 10 locations) of the underground reservoirs No.1-4 and 6. The results are as follows.

No significant change was found with the results compared to the previous day (April 16).

The water level, etc. of the underground reservoirs will continue to be intensively monitored.
