As part of monitoring activity of the surrounding environment, we conducted 
an analysis of plutonium contained in the soil collected on March 21 and 22 
at the 5 spots in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. As a result, 
plutonium 238, 239 and 240 were detected.
                                                     (Previously announced)
 
As a result of plutonium analysis in the soil from the samples at the 3 
periodic sampling spots collected on August 1, plutonium 238, 239, and 240 
were detected as shown in the attachment 1.
 
In addition, as a result of nuclide analysis of the gamma ray contained in 
the soil, radioactive materials were detected as shown in the attachment 2.
 
And, as a result of uranium analysis in the soil from the samples at the 3 
periodic sampling spots collected on June 13 and 20, plutonium and uranium 
was detected. Therefore, we conducted further analysis for americium and 
curium in the soil. As a result, americium 241, curium 242, 243 and 244 
were detected as shown in the attachment 3 and 4.
 
Today, we informed the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the 
government of Fukushima Prefecture of the results.
 
We will continue conducting the similar analysis.
