8 Health of citizens Health Survey We conduct the Health Management Survey to carefully observe the mental and physical health of citizens and help maintain and promote citizens health over the future. We estimate the exposure dose of citizens, and conduct thyroid gland inspections for 370,000 citizens who were aged from 0 to 18 at the time of the disaster. Basic survey Self administered questionnaires: 26.4% (As of June 30,2014) (541,653 respondents against 2,055,533 subjects) Thyroid gland inspections Inspection to confirm the present situation of children who aged 18 or younger at the time of the disaster, about 296,000 were examined as of March 31,2014. Result of judgment Judgment A Internal exposure inspections using whole body counters No charge for medical fee for citizens aged 18 or younger <Results of estimate on external exposure dose> All citizens surveyed Ratio of dose from 0 to 2mSv accounts for 94.0% of all. Estimate of external exposure dose for the 4 months from the nuclear accident until July 11 Citizens aged 18 or younger at the time of the disaster (About 370,000 persons) <Full scale inspection>(from 2014) <Primary inspections>(2011 to 2013) Contents of judgment (A1) No node or cyst was observed 152,389 (A2) Node smaller than 5.0 mm or cyst smaller than 20 mm was observed 141,063 Citizens residing in the prefecture as of March 11, 2011 (2,055,533 persons) The second inspection for the comparison with the primary inspection. The subjects will include infants born till April 1, The inspection will be conducted every 2 years with the subjects to the age of 20, and after 20 it will take place every 5 years. examinees Proportion Judgment B Node larger than 5.1 mm or cyst larger than 20.1 mm was observed 2, % Judging from the conditions of thyroid gland, the examinee is Judgment C 1 0.0% immediately required to take a secondary inspection Judgments A 1 and A2 require follow up till the next inspection (after 2014). Judgments B and C require the secondary inspection. Though a person s condition is diagnosed as being within the Judgment A2, he/she is determined to be the Judgment B if the condition of thyroid gland seems to be in need of the secondary inspection. In the secondary inspection (1,848 subjects), 104 subjects were found to be malignant or on suspicion of malignancy.

10 Measures for food safety and security The Prefectural Government has enhanced inspection system to confirm safety of foods in order to prevent distribution of foods exceeding the reference level for radiological substances. We have equipped simplified analyzers for radiological substances to analyze vegetables self consumed in all municipalities in the prefecture as well as focused on risk communication related to radioactivity and food products. Monitoring situation of agricultural, forestry and fisheries products in the prefecture Primary products produced in the prefecture are all obligated to undergo inspections before being shipped. Any product exceeding the reference level is banned from shipment by municipality item by item. Therefore, the primary products being distributed are confirmed to be safe.
