We had been studying to implement sampling surveys on the ocean soil, 
completed preparations and conducted the surveys on April 29, 2011.
                                     (Previously announced on May 3, 2011)

We conducted a nuclide analysis of radioactive materials contained in the 
ocean soil sampled on November 9. As a result, radioactive materials were 
detected as shown in the attachment.

Sampling for one point of 2 points which was planned to be implemented on 
the day before yesterday was cancelled due to trouble of the instrument.

Today, we reported the results to NISA and the government of Fukushima 
Prefecture.

We will continuously conduct the same sampling surveys.
