         2 . The steel plate according to  claim 1 , wherein tensile strength of the steel plate is 600 MPa or more. 
     
     
         3 . The steel plate according to  claim 1 , comprising, by weight: 0.12 to 0.20% of C. 
     
     
         4 . The steel plate according to  claim 1 , comprising, by weight: 0.09 to 0.20% of C. 
     
     
         5 . Nb. The steel plate according to  claim 1 , comprising, by weight: 0.005 to 0.03% of 
     
     
         6 . The steel plate according to  claim 1 , wherein a nil-ductility transition temperature of the steel plate is  31  85° C. to −50° C.,
 wherein tensile strength of the steel plate is 600 MPa to 660 MPa, and 
 wherein, at −60° C., the Charpy impact toughness of the steel plate is 300J to 334J. 
 
     
     
         7 . The steel plate according to  claim 1 , comprising, by weight: 0.09 to 0.12% of C, and 0.01 to 0.03% of Nb.
