Fukushima prefecture requested Hirosaki university to stop internal exposure test

 

 

 

Fukushima prefectural government requested Hirosaki University to stop internal exposure test “because it causes fear of Fukushima people”.

Researching team of Hirosaki university conducted radiation test for Iodine 131 taken in the thyroid for 17 people in Namiemachi, where is in planned evacuation area and 45 people who evacuated from MInamisoma to Fukushima (62 in total). The researching team obtained the permission of the citizens and local government.
To make the reliable data, they needed over 100 testees but the local medical department of Fukushima prefecture stopped them conducting further research. They commented, “The researching team is allowed to measure environmental radiation level but internal exposure test causes fear, it shall be stopped.”

The medical department states, they don’t remember that comment but they actually requested other universities to “understand the feelings of local citizens.” as well.
As the result, almost none of the internal exposure data of Iodine 131 remained.

The radiation data of those 62 people are already published. On the assumption that they took Iodine 131 to their thyroid on 3/12,the total dosage of internal exposure of the 5 people exceed 50 mSv, which they had to take iodine preparation from the regulation of IAEA. However now it’s considered to be more possible that they took iodine 131 on 3/15, they are analyzing the data again.

Around the end of March 2011, Nuclear disaster headquarters of the government actually conducted thyroid internal exposure test for 1080 of 0 ~ 15 years old people living in Iidate mura but because they used the simple equipment, they couldn’t measure iodine 131 directly.

 

<福島原発>県が内部被ばく検査中止要請…弘前大に昨年4月
毎日新聞 6月14日(木)2時32分配信
東京電力福島第1原発事故後、福島県浪江町などで住民の内部被ばくを検査していた弘前大の調査班に、県が検査中止を求めていたことが分かった。県の担当者は事実確認できないとしつつ「当時、各方面から調査が入り『不安をあおる』との苦情もあった。各研究機関に『(調査は)慎重に』と要請しており、弘前大もその一つだと思う」と説明。調査班は「きちんと検査していれば事故の影響を正しく評価でき、住民も安心できたはずだ」と当時の県の対応を疑問視している。

弘前大被ばく医療総合研究所の床次眞司(とこなみ・しんじ)教授らは昨年4月12~16日、放射線量が高く、後に計画的避難区域に指定された浪江町津島地区に残っていた17人と、南相馬市から福島市に避難していた45人の計62人について、住民や自治体の了解を得ながら甲状腺内の放射性ヨウ素131を測定した。このうち3人は2度測定。検査の信頼性を高めるためには3桁の被験者が必要とされ、その後も継続検査の計画を立てていた。ところが県地域医療課から「環境の数値を測るのはいいが、人を測るのは不安をかき立てるからやめてほしい」と要請されたという。

ヨウ素131は甲状腺にたまりやすく、がんのリスクを高めるとされる一方、半減期は8日と短く、早期検査しなければ原発事故の影響を把握できない。床次教授は「放射線への不安が長引いているのは当時の情報がないからだ」と指摘する。

県地域医療課の担当者は「やりとりの詳細は記憶にない。弘前大以外にも県の災害対策本部として『住民の心情を察してほしい』とお願いしてきた」と説明する。だが、こうした要請の結果、事故初期段階でのヨウ素131の内部被ばく実測データはほとんど残されなかった。

62人の検査データは既に公表され、事故翌日の昨年3月12日にヨウ素を吸引したと仮定して内部被ばくの積算線量を推計したところ、5人が国際原子力機関の定めた甲状腺がんを防ぐヨウ素剤服用基準の50ミリシーベルトを超えていた。ただし現在は3月15日にヨウ素を吸引したとの見方が有力になっており、再解析が進められている。

甲状腺の内部被ばく検査を巡っては、国の原子力災害対策本部も3月下旬、飯舘村などの0~15歳の計1080人に実施したが、これはヨウ素を直接測ることができない簡易式の検出器だった。【町田結子】

  1. BREAKS MY HEART:

    If you do not measure, then you do not get treatment for decorporation, antioxidant supplements, dietary advice, nor do you make a big effort to provide clean food. Health issues are not appropriately addressed. This is silence that kills; abandonment of govt. It would be appropriate for Fukushima govt, Japanese govt, to accept their responsibility to the people. The Japanese version of the Price Andersen Act means the govt is the last resort of recourse, of liability…. as legal beagles say, ‘to be made whole.’ They clearly and repeatedly demonstrate they want to keep people in Fukushima instead of evacuating for economic reasons – regardless that it is clearly appropriate to evacuate a much larger area of Fukushima – the 80km zone should have been evacuated immediately and permanently.

    Economic considerations over the public health. And the people of Fukushima, the children, are the sacrifice to the altar of Yen, of businesses. What should be happening is relocating. Compensation by getting housing and joining communities right away.
    Same in USA, UK, France… we must demand better. This is so profoundly, morally and ethically repugnant. SHAME on Fukushima Govt.

  2. FUKUSHIMA DIARY FR – La préfecture de Fukushima a ordonné à l’université de Hirosaki d’arrêter ses examens d’exposition interne.
    Par Mochizuki le 14 juin 2012.

    Le Conseil Général de la préfecture de Fukushima a ordonné à l’université de Hirosaki d’arrêter ses examens sur l’exposition interne “parce que ça fait peur aux gens de Fukushima”.

    L’équipe de recherche de l’université d’Hirosaki menait des examens sur l’irradiation à l’iode 131 de la thyroïde de 17 personnes de Namiemachi, qui est dans la zone d’évacuation, et sur 45 personnes qui ont évacué de Minamisoma pour aller à Fukushima (62 au total). L’équipe de recherche avait obtenu la permission de ces gens et du gouvernement local.
    Pour obtenir des données fiables, ils avaient besoin de plus de 100 personnes à examiner mais le département de la santé local de la préfecture de Fukushima leur a interdit de continuer leurs recherches. Ils se sont justifiés en disant “l’équipe de recherche a la permission de mesurer le niveau de radioactivité de l’environnement mais les examens d’exposition interne font peur, il faut arrêter ça”.

    Le département de la santé affirme qu’ils ne se souvient pas d’avoir dit ça mais ils ont effectivement ordonné aussi aux autres universités de “comprendre les sentiments des citoyens locaux”.
    En conséquence, à peu près toutes les données sur les expositions à l’iode 131 n’ont pas été conservées.

    Les données d’irradiation de ces 62 personnes sont déjà publiées. En considérant qu’ils ont absorbé l’iode 131 dans leur thyroïde le 12 mars, la dose totale d’exposition de 5 de ces personnes excède 50 mSv, ils devaient prendre les préparation d’iode selon la réglementation de l’AIEA. Toutefois maintenant, il est considéré comme plus probable qu’ils aient absorbé l’iode 131 à partir du 15 mars, ils réexaminent les données.

    Vers la fin mars 2011, le quartier général du gouvernement sur la catastrophe nucléaire a effectivement mené des examens sur l’exposition interne de la thyroïde de 1 080 individus, de 0 à 15 ans, vivant à Iidate mura mais parce qu’ils ont utilisé du matériel trop rudimentaire, ils n’ont pas été en mesure d’obtenir directement l’iode 131.

  3. If you do not measure, then there is no demonstration of damage by Fukushima radaiation. No way to prove financial responibilty. Wonder if the Japanese government realizes when over 50% of the population becomes ill, they will STILL have to fund care? Or may not. Guess the plan might be depopulation by radiation disease. Truely horrible either way. So “if you dont measure” then there is no financial problem..for now. The legacy, however, is a destroyed population without the ability to recover; damaged DNA could mean no viable pregnancies; mental acuity damage means no creative thought..and so on.

    1. And then there will be the mindful 5-10% who have done everything to protect themselves and don’t have cancer, and they will be a minority who stands out among the rest. It’s a very sad I-told-you-so moment. We will see the same thing in the USA. Our cancer rates are rising, too. Those who don’t get it won’t be accidentally healthy. They will be healthy for being individuals and fighting for themselves and their kin. For now they are mocked and sidelined, but then they will be heroes.

  4. When are people going to stop being afraid of the truth. Japan had a nuclear meltdown! That’s not scarry……:but texting internal radiation levels is? Wow, ok, so act like nothing has happened and everything and everyone is healthy and fine is the way to handle massive doses of fallout radiation that hit Japan….don’t forget about the radioactive fallout the jet stream carried to north america. Nothing said about that situation.I agree, you have to test to better understand in order to better prepare and treat people. But no Japan government is trying to down play the situation , along with Canada and the United States. All three governments are secretly working together.

    1. It’s amazing that they still get away with it. This isn’t loving protection of their minds, is it? It’s social engineering. It’s a literal survival situation for the residents forced to stay. Those with Lori’s sense of self preservation are using every tool at their disposal to adapt to the situation on their own.

      And they will have to be as resistant to radiation as cockroaches with a wise, adaptive lifestyle to help make up for the lack of inbuilt biochemical protection to this extreme level of contamination.

  5. Dear brothers and sisters

    People have a new choice here, they can get individual exposure tests,
    the prices are standards, clinical way is also a positive way for Individual Exposure Tests, think to it,

    Nuclear Résistance : Individual Exposure tests
    — Radiation Risk Research Center Tokyo – (http://rrrc-tokyo.jp/option.html#A) :
    – marqueur de dommages d’ADN -urine-,
    – contrôle physique de radiation ionisante,
    – mesure interne d’exposition,…,

    se renseigner également sur les webs clinciens :
    – riken-ac.com (http://riken-ac.com/products_09.html),
    – naibu-hibaku (http://www.naibu-hibaku.jp/user_page_contents.html),
    – Tokai Watarai Clinic,(http://tokai-clinic.com/diagnosis/8-ohdg.html)…

    These informations are coming from rare and very courageous scholars in medecine who helped me for my personal radium checks…
    These professional sources come from Takita Clinic, Dr. Takita Sonoko, Kakioka, Ibaraki, 30/5/12

    May you help me to protect doctors who save Internal exposure tests in Japan, and japanese clinical friends : “save our human medecine !!”

  6. Who could be surprised? It is always like that in Japan.
    People don’t want to face the truth. If someone is dying of cancer, the doctor doesn’t tell him or her, because it’s considered rude and too direct; it is conveyed indirectly sometimes.

    The government probably feels overwhelmed. They have tried to maximize the population of the small archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, and it reached 120 million, before heading down, now accelerating downwards, and all this radiation isn’t going to do anything but make the downward trend even faster. Some people wouldn’t want to have a baby in a situation like that, for example. A bad economy isn’t exactly going to raise the birthrate. And people exposed to internal radiation might not be able to bear healthy children, or any children.

    So when things look bad, then what to do? Stick your head in the sand and just ignore it all. The problems are so overwhelming that they defy any sort of fix or cure anyway.

  7. They should stop testing for cancer, old age, diabetes, cold, flu, Alzheimer’s and every other ailment then. It causes fear of getting sick.

    …pansies.

  8. I keep trying to understnd the attitude of the government in Japan but it escapes me.This just dose not make sense. Radiation kills. It dose not kill as quickly as gunfire but it kills. The government may as well be distributin hand guns, telling peole to hold them up to their heads and pull the trigger then saying it won’t hurt them.

    1. Radiation also generates a huge ton of cash, as does the sale of weapons during perpetual wartime (eg. on “terrorism”)… both of which we – as average people who don’t own electricity or weapons manufacturing companies – are experiencing the negative effects of.

      That should give you an idea of government attitude in general. Money money money.

  9. I think these decisions are used to not having data in the future demonstrate the correlation between the nuclear incident / radiological problem / and disease.

  10. Iodine 131 has a period of 8 days. From 15 months that iodine was released, the level of radioactivity has dwindled by a factor 1E7 (100000000000000000). Still trying to measure it is a nonsense.

  11. and this is this
    We all know Fukushima Daichi 2 REACTORS a few miles north of fukudaichi roofs blown off
    37.23278,141.012923 >4 REACTORS A few miles south of fuku daini 4 roofs blown off
    >>>continuation of above site> 37.236872,141.018029 >This is at the site south of fukudaini,,, if you google map this coordinate, the arrow is sitting on what I believe to be a FIFTH REACTOR at this site, THERE WAS A POSSIBLE 6TH REACTOR HERE.
    35.947938,140.691277 >1 REACTOR here WITH IT’S ROOF BLOWN OFF AND IT’S SPENT FUEL POOL STEAMING WHEN THE SAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN
    35.940785,140.688515 4 REACTORS blown to smithereens WAYYYYY WORSE THAN FUKUSHIMA DAICHI!!!!!
    That makes SIXTEEN REACTORS!!!!! maybe more:(

  12. 1sr part should sat We all know Fukushima Daichi 2 REACTORS a few miles north of fukudaichi roofs blown off

  13. bah 4 reacs and 4’s spent fuel pool burned at daichii, and god knows what else

  14. 37.666497,141.017783 >2 REACTORS a few miles north of fukudaichi roofs blown off

  15. Intel stop it dude your foolish, the ‘reactors’ your spewing about are gas and coal burning plants. There is no possible way someone can manufacture a dozen unnamed plants then completely hide the meltdowns. There is clearly open coal reserves next to the ‘reactors’. Please go on google earth for higher res pictures and you’ll see there are NO debris around any of the ‘reactors’ except for the hansai coal plant 37.23278,141.012923 http://www.panoramio.com/m/photo/53004669 which did get hit and is messed up. if your radiation readings are real, their from fuku. if you still believe yourself Heres a link of coal plants http://www.industcards.com/st-coal-japan.htm stop the fear mongering fool. Im posting this under all your bs

  16. 35.947938,140.691277 >1 REACTOR here WITH IT’S ROOF BLOWN OFF AND IT’S SPENT FUEL POOL STEAMING WHEN THE SAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN
    what’s this then?????????????????

  17. Hahaha, now i just think you WANT these to be npp’s. that “reactor” was doing its job by burning oil and coal to burn for electricity. What more proof just stop. And go on google earth wit your coordinates, like i said theres 2012 high res images that have NO debris around ANY reactors except fuku, and the hansai coal plant. Take a look at these again. If we had 16 meltdowns bud, you know how many radoactive particles would released? How fast that would spread? More than 1/2 of japan would be sick and dying from the radiation, and the rest of the world to follow. Chernobyl is nothing compared to fuku now, and you know how fast people started having these symptoms? Days after, near and far into europe. You have nothing to worry about as far as your “reactor” discovery. Honestly i thought the same thing but then i did research from everything ive found above. If your still convinced dude, or you just get joy out of seeing what peoples reactions are im sorry for you, but im not going to let you keep posting ur bs on these articles and trying to monger fear. So im jut gonna keep posting under your lies. Intel agent haha. Bull shit agent

    1. Not so fast, what about this smart gay>
      35.947938,140.691277 >1 REACTOR here WITH IT’S ROOF BLOWN OFF AND IT’S SPENT FUEL POOL STEAMING WHEN THE SAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN
      ok, so this one plus the four at FUKINSHIMA DAINI plus another *FOUR at FUKUSHIMA DAICHI EQUALS 9
      RIGHT? RIGHT????
      *even though spent fuel pool 4 is not technically a reactor meltydown it did burn henceforth it will be counted.

  18. It’s 9 meltdowns, NINE!!!! UNTIL YOU OR THE JAPANESE GOV’T/CORPORATION COWARDS/LIARS START TELLING THE TRUTH AND >>>>>>>>>>>>PR0000VE 0THERWISE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    10-4?

  19. you know what, I know what I saw, now maybe the ones with no walls whatsoever were non nuclear, but I know that some of those coordinates have >nuclear powerplants with their roofs blown off.

  20. and google maps cowardly puts whatever name they are in kanji, nice, for you.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
