This is follow-up information regarding the water leak from the underground reservoirs at Fukushima Daiichi NPS.
The results of sampling performed in the drain holes of the underground reservoirs No.1-7 (at 14 locations) and the leakage detection holes of the underground reservoirs No.1-4 and 6 (sampling could not be performed in 2 out of 10 locations) yesterday (April 18) morning are as follows.
The results of sampling performed yesterday (April 18) in the observation holes of the underground reservoir (sample could not be collected in one out of 3 locations) are also provided below.
The water level, etc. of the underground reservoirs will continue to be intensively monitored.
The following analysis results are also available on our web page.
