On 8/30/2012, Fukushima Diary reported “JP Gov will start genomic analysis for Fukushima people” [URL]

On 3/14/2013, Japanese government decided to postpone this genomic test for Fukushima people.
They were to take blood samples from 500 pairs of parents and children from next year.
They were supposed to analyze the genomic mutation due to the low dose exposure for 3 generations.
They state they need to take more time to consider the “ethical aspect” and the implementing way of the test.

Le gouvernement nippon repousse l’analyse du génome des gens de Fukushima “pour raison éthique”

 

Le 30 août 2012, le Fukushima Diary rapportait Le gouvernement japonais va lancer une analyse du génome des gens de Fukushima

Le 14 mars 2013, le gouvernement japonais a décidé de repousser ces examens du génome des gens de Fukushima.
Ils devaient prendre 500 échantillons sanguins de couples de parents et enfants à partir de l’an prochain.
Ils étaient supposés en analyser les mutations du génome induites par une exposition à de faibles doses sur 3 générations.
Ils affirment avoir besoin de plus de temps pour examiner “l’aspect éthique” et la façon d’implémenter les examens.

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.
