Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report 2013

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

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

No significant change was found with the chloride concentration analysis results compared to yesterday (May 16).

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