Readings of Radiation Monitoring of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools, Etc Readings of Radiation Monitoring of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools, etc. in Fukushima Prefecture (Preliminary Report) September 13, 2012 Local Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters (Radioactivity Team) Disaster Provision Main Office of Fukushima Pref. (Nuclear Power Team) 1. Monitoring period June – September, 2012 (Monitoring was partially conducted in advance according to usage of the swimming pools) 2. Target facilities Number for this report Number of target (Those monitored from August 31 to facilities (*) September 6) 492 88 * Number of the facilities that requested monitoring as of September 12, 2012. * The results of the monitoring will be released sequentially from those for facilities whose measurement results are organized amd made available. 3. Monitoring results (Preliminary report) Analyses of radioactive cesium of the water in outdoor swimming pools at schools, etc. There is no facility where the level of the radioactive cesium detected is higher than the control target value for tap water (radioactive cesium 10Bq/kg). Not detectable – 1.41Bq/L (Not detectable in 85 facilities out of 88) Cs-134: Not detected in any of the facilities Cs-137: Not detectable – 1.41Bq/L 4. Handling of monitoring results As for the use of outdoor swimming pools at schools in Fukushima Prefecture, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology issued a notice on April 10, 2012, which indicates that there is no problem with using tap water controlled under the control target value (radioactive cesium 10Bq/kg), and it is not necessary to restrict the use of outdoor pools even if the level of the radioactive cesium is a little over the control target value. In cases where radioactive cesium is detected, measures shall be taken, such as preventing leaves, soil, sand, etc. from getting into pools, as needed.

  • Fukushima Nuclear Disaster – Implications for Japanese Agriculture and Food Chains
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Fukushima nuclear disaster – implications for Japanese agriculture and food chains Bachev, Hrabrin and Ito, Fusao Institute of Agricultural Economics, Sofia, Tohoku University, Sendai 3 September 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/49462/ MPRA Paper No. 49462, posted 03 Sep 2013 08:50 UTC Fukushima Nuclear Disaster – Implications for Japanese Agriculture and Food Chains1 Hrabrin Bachev, Professor, Institute of Agricultural Economics, Sofia, Bulgaria2 Fusao Ito, Professor, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan 1. Introduction On March 11, 2011 at 14:46 JST the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred with the epicenter around 70 kilometers east of Tōhoku. It was the most powerful recorded earthquake ever hit Japan with a magnitude of 9.03 Mw. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami that reached heights of up to 40 meters in Miyako, Iwate prefecture and travelled up to 10 km inland in Sendai area. The earthquake and tsunami caused many casualties and immense damages in North-eastern Japan. According to some estimates that is the costliest natural disaster in the world history [Kim]. Official figure of damages to agriculture, forestry and fisheries alone in 20 prefectures amounts to 2,384.1 billion yen [MAFF]. The earthquake and tsunami caused a nuclear accident3 in one of the world’s biggest nuclear power stations - the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Okuma and Futaba, Fukushima prefecture. After cooling system failure three reactors suffered large explosions and level 7 meltdowns leading to releases of huge radioactivity into environment [TEPCO]. Radioactive contamination has spread though air, rains, dust, water circulations, wildlife, garbage disposals, transportation, and affected soils, waters, plants, animals, infrastructure, supply and food chains in immense areas.

  • Monitoring of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools, Etc. in Fukushima Prefecture (Preliminary Report)
    Readings of Radiation Monitoring of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools, etc. in Fukushima Prefecture (Preliminary Report) August 2, 2011 Local Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters (Radioactivity Team) Disaster Provision Main Office of Fukushima Pref. (Nuclear Power Team) 1. Monitoring date Thursday July 21–Wednesday, July 27, 2011 2. Monitored facilities Number of target facilities Number for this report (Those monitored from July 21 to July 27) 220 122 * Although the number of target facilities was initially 76, the number was later changed to 220, as shown in the table, due to requests from nursery facilities, etc. (as of July 19). 3. Monitoring Results Analyses of radioactive nuclides of the water in outdoor swimming pools at schools, etc (1) Radioactive iodine Not detected at all facilities. (2) Radioactive cesium Cs-134 Not detectable～4.66Bq/L Cs-137 Not detectable～5.95Bq/L 4. Handling of monitoring results Also, regarding swimming pools in junior high schools where cesium-134 and cesium 137 was detected, we request that the installation personnel make a judgment on the necessity of restricting the use of the facilities, based on the situation in each area, by referring to the “Use of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools in Fukushima Prefecture” (Nuclear Safety Division, Science and Technology Policy Bureau, and School Health Education Division, Sports and Youth Bureau, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, June 16, 2011) and “Notice of Use of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools in Fukushima Prefecture” (Chairman, Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education, June 21, 2011,). Also, the form of utilization of the facilities at which cesium-134 and cesium-137 was detected this time is considered to be similar to that of utilization of bathing areas.

  • Relationship Between Environmental Radiation and Radioactivity and Childhood Thyroid Cancer Found in Fukushima Health Management Survey H
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Relationship between environmental radiation and radioactivity and childhood thyroid cancer found in Fukushima health management survey H. Toki1*, T. Wada2, Y. Manabe3, S. Hirota4, T. Higuchi5, I. Tanihata1, K. Satoh6 & M. Bando1,7 Environmental radioactive contamination caused by the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident has aroused great concern regarding a possible increase in the incidence of childhood thyroid cancer. The ultrasound examinations were conducted immediately after the accident as part of the Fukushima Health Management Survey (FHMS), which is divided into the preliminary baseline survey (PBLS) and the full-scale survey (FSS). Some of their outcomes are reported regularly and made available to the public. We have detailed measurements of the air-dose rates and radioactive elements in soil in many places all over the Fukushima prefecture. To study the dose-response relationship, we begin with the assumption that the external and internal doses are correlated with the air-dose rate and the amount of 131I in soil, respectively. We then investigate the relationship between these estimated doses and the PBLS and FSS thyroid cancer cases. Our analysis shows that the dose-response curve with the FSS data clearly difers from that with the PBLS data. Finally, we consider the potential mitigating efects of evacuation from highly contaminated areas in both external and internal exposure scenarios. Te earthquake on March 11, 2011 triggered a serious accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Since then, there has been considerable debate over the possible efects of radiation exposure on human health. Although much is known about immediate damage caused by acute exposure, we still need to make eforts to understand the long-term health risks of exposure to low-dose radiation1.
