(Nuclear Power Team) 1. Monitoring date 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 2 to facilities (*) August 9) 492 153 * Number of the facilities that requested monitoring as of August 16, 2012. * The results of the monitoring will be released sequentially from those for facilities whose measurement results are organized and 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 – 4.08Bq/L (Not detectable in 142 facilities out of 153) Cs-134: Not detectable – 1.38Bq/L Cs-137: Not detectable – 2.70Bq/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.

Introduction On March 11, 2011 the strongest recorded in Japan earthquake off the Pacific coast of North-east of the country occurred (also know as Great East Japan Earthquake, 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and the 3.11 Earthquake) which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant (Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Plant Station). It was the first disaster that included an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. The 2011 disasters have had immense impacts on people life, health and property, social infrastructure and economy, natural and institutional environment, etc. in North-eastern Japan and beyond [Abe, 2014; Al-Badri and Berends, 2013; Biodiversity Center of Japan, 2013; Britannica, 2014; Buesseler, 2014; FNAIC, 2013; Fujita et al., 2012; IAEA, 2011; IBRD, 2012; Kontar et al., 2014; NIRA, 2013; TEPCO, 2012; UNEP, 2012; Vervaeck and Daniell, 2012; Umeda, 2013; WHO, 2013; WWF, 2013]. We have done an assessment of major social, economic and environmental impacts of the triple disaster in another publication [Bachev, 2014]. There have been numerous publications on diverse impacts of the 2011 disasters including on the Japanese agriculture and food sector [Bachev and Ito, 2013; JA-ZENCHU, 2011; Johnson, 2011; Hamada and Ogino, 2012; MAFF, 2012; Koyama, 2013; Sekizawa, 2013; Pushpalal et al., 2013; Liou et al., 2012; Murayama, 2012; MHLW, 2013; Nakanishi and Tanoi, 2013; Oka, 2012; Ujiie, 2012; Yasunaria et al., 2011; Watanabe A., 2011; Watanabe N., 2013].

  • Readings of Radiation Monitoring of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools in Fukushima Prefecture
    Readings of Radiation Monitoring of Outdoor Swimming Pools at Schools, etc. in Fukushima Prefecture (Preliminary Report) July 20, 2011 Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters (Radioactivity Team) Disaster Provision Main Office of Fukushima Pref. (Nuclear Power Team) １ Date Thursday July 7 – Wednesday, July 13, 2011 ２ Investigation object Number of facilities monitored Number for this report (Those monitored on July 7–13) ２２０ ６３ ※ The number of facilities to be monitored was initially 76. However, having received additional requests from nursery facilities, etc. the number was modified to 220 as shown in the table (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～1.11Bq/L Cs‐137 Not detectable～1.67Bq/L ４ Handling of monitoring results The form of utilization of the public pool at which cesium-134 and cesium-137 was detected this time is considered to be similar to that of utilization of bathing areas. Also, regarding swimming pools in junior high schools where 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,).

  • 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.
