A 80 m' detector array consisting of two layers of CR-39 plastic track detector andan iron absorber was exposed at deep underground (2700 rn.w.e.) in Kamioka minefor 1.8 yr. This plastic plate can detect tracks of penetrating monopoles with energyloss ratc greater than that of a neucleus with Z/73>, 10. Considering recoil of the Cand 0 atoms in CR-39 due to diamagnetic repulsion, CR-39 plastic detector is considered to be sensitive to the monopoles at velocities down to about 10- ' c. We havefound no monopole candidate, and this implies that the upper limit on the flux ofgrand-unified-theory monopoles with r?10 'c or r;>5.5Xl0 'c is 3.0lxl10 "cm 's 'sr ' at 90% confidence level.
