We conduct periodic measurement of exhaust air collected with filters for 
a week from each building of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station. 
Since March 24, 2011, we have detected slightly above the minimum 
detectable amount of iodine 131 at the exhaust stacks of all units, the 
exhaust vents of service buildings of Unit 3, 5 and 6 and the exhaust 
stack of the auxiliary building of the Arahama-side. 
It is presumed that iodine 131 released into the air due to the accident 
at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was collected and detected, 
because no abnormality has been found in Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power 
Station.
The detected amount of iodine 131 does not have significant impact to the 
surrounding environment. (Previously announced on March 24 and April 1, 
2011)

TEPCO continue measuring exhaust air from each building with filters for 
a week and today detected the maximum of 9.8 x 10-9 Bq/cm3 of iodine 131 
at the exhaust stacks of all units except Unit 3 and the exhaust vents of 
service buildings of Unit 3, 5 and 6. The detected amount of iodine 131 
does not exceed 2.4 x 10-8 Bq/cm3 of iodine that had been already 
detected in the maximum. 
It is also similarly presumed that iodine 131 released into the air due 
to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was collected 
and detected, because iodine 131 was simultaneously detected at exhaust 
stacks of multiple units and no abnormality has been found in the status 
of units in operation and the density of iodine 131 in the water inside 
reactors.

Readings of monitoring posts and dust radiation monitors* are within the 
normal range and the detected amount of iodine 131 does not have 
environmental impact. The monitoring posts are located at boundary of the 
station site and the dust radiation monitors are located beside the 
monitoring posts.

* Dust radiation monitor
    Measurement equipment to continuously collect the dust in the air in 
    the adjacent area of Power Station and measure radioactivity 
    contained. The equipments are installed nearby 3 monitoring posts.
