Abstract: | The Great East Japan Earthquake has occurred on March 11, 2011, in the Tohoku District of Japan. Due to the earthquake, big
tsunamis were induced, and they rushed to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Stations, causing severe accidents. Radioactive materials
including I-131, Cs-137 and so on were emitted from the plant to the environment. The Japanese government, Fukushima prefectural
government and other local governments have struggled against the accidents. The restricted area and deliberate evacuation
area are set by the government, and the residents are evacuated. The dose rates in and around Fukushima Prefecture have been
monitored by the governments and other involved organizations. Fukushima government has started the health management survey
for all residents in Fukushima Prefecture including the questions on their activities for the estimations of their external
doses. |
