Residents’ urine now radioactive Fukushima
More than 3 millisieverts of radiation has been measured in the urine of
15 Fukushima residents of the village of Iitate and the town of
Kawamata, confirming internal radiation exposure, it was learned Sunday.
Both are about 30 to 40 km from the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, which
has been releasing radioactive material into the environment since the
week of March 11, when the quake and tsunami caused core meltdowns.
“This won’t be a problem if they don’t eat vegetables or other products
that are contaminated,” said Nanao Kamada, professor emeritus of
radiation biology at Hiroshima University. “But it will be difficult for
people to continue living in these areas.” (Japan Times)
