(Translation by Mia)
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is preparing a report on the safety measurement to publish within this month. Fukushima Minpo newspaper reported that they set to announce that there is no health effect in the area that is below 20mSv/y.
(Editor's note)
Is there any scientific data that says 20mSv/y is safe for citizens including pregnant women and children?
20mSv/y is for nuclear workers according to the ICRP standard. Although ICRP doesn't consider internal exposure to ionizing radiation, 1mSv/y by the ICRP standard has been considered as an international standard for citizens that was based on the data of Hiroshima/Nagasaki nuclear bombs victims.
ICRP
(the International Centre for Radiological Protection)
The
ICRP limit for a member of the public of 1mSv/y and of 20mSv/y for
the occupational radiation worker.
---------------------------------------
Mr.
Kosako who had been well respected professor and was the advisor to
the former Prime Minister, resigned in protest at the government’s
decision of 20mSv/y in 2011, saying that it went completely against
his ethics as a scientist and a grandparent. …
In
Chernobyl, nobody has to live in areas where the radiation level is
more than 5mSv/y unless they want to. In Japan, the government
had been appling the
ICRP model
for
emergency situations as a normal one after the disaster in 2011, and
had been treats 20mSv/y areas as safe places to live so they do not
have to evacuate people from such areas. We
shouldn’t allow this false sense of security to remain
unchallenged, otherwise it could be foisted on the rest of the world
as well.

In 2008, the average dose in heavily contaminated
territories
of Belarus, Ukraine and European Russia
exceeded
1 mSv/y
—primarily
from eating locally
contaminated
food. However, the administration of
apple-pectin
food additives is considered helpful for
body
decontamination of
137
Cs. Between 1996 and 2007, 160 000 Belarussian children received
pectin food additives for 18–25 days
137
Cs levels decreased by 30–40 %. Special protective measures in
connection
with
agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing will be
necessary
to protect the health of people in radioac-tively contaminated
territories for many generations……..
