　As a result of radiation level checks, three types of radioactive substances were not detectable in school lunch ingredients (vegetables) and swimming pool water.
　Regarding soil, Iodine 131 was not detectable from all collection spots. Although different results from spots collected, cesium 134 and 137 were under 1 mSv air radiation rate per year which is within the limit (standardized by International Commission on Radiological Protection).
　After the result of these checks, the commission tells that there will be no hazard to our health.
　There will be another check for swimming pool water in August and school lunch ingredients (vegetables) ＆ soil in September. Also, we plan to have about two seminars regarding radioactivity.
