Measurement results 1. Radiation level in the atmosphere Measurement results at the Port of Nagoya are as follows. <Measurement results> Date Sampling Point Radiation level (μSv/h) May 19, 2011 �@ Garden Pier 0.07 �A Tobishima Pier 0.09 �B Nabeta Pier 0.09 �C South-5 Section 0.07 May 8, 2012 �@ Garden Pier 0.06 �A Tobishima Pier 0.07 �B Nabeta Pier 0.07 �C South-5 Section 0.07 (Note) Normal level range before the unclear energy plant accident : 0.035-0.11 (μSv/h) (Measured at Tokai area (Aichi, Gifu and Mie Prefectures)) 2. Radioactivity in the seawater In the measurement results, all radioactive materials was "Not detectable". <Measurement results> Date Sampling Point Radioactivity (Bq/L) Ionie-131 Cesium-134 Cesium-137 May 16, 2011 South side of Kinjo Pier Not detectable Not detectable Not detectable Outside of Hightide breakwater (East Channel) Not detectable Not detectable Not detectable May 7, 2012 South side of Kinjo Pier Not detectable Not detectable Not detectable Outside of Hightide breakwater (East Channel) Not detectable Not detectable Not detectable 3. Sampling points
	1. Radiation level in the atmosphere 　　　�@ Garden Pier 　　　�A Tobishima Pier 　　　�B Nabeta Pier 　　　�C South-5 Section 　　　2. Radioactivity in the seawater 　　　�@ South side of Kinjo Pier 　　　�A Outside of Hightide breakwater
	4. Remarks about measurement result - Measured by the specialized agancies. - The radiation dose is measured one meter above the ground surface in each point. 　Measurement results may differ form the data measured by research institutes and 　others due to the effect of radiation from the ground surface or outer space.
