These WBC resultsare
consistent with
“Co-op Fukushima” duplicate
portion studies
‣ Quake&Tsunami devastatednorth-eastern part of
Japan
‣ 3 Fukushima-Daiichi reactors were damaged,
releasing radioactive Xe, I, Cs, …,
‣ Luckily, various results consistently show that
the internal contamination level of Fukushima
citizens is low
‣ Food screening has been effective
‣ But we need to continue food/WBC
measurements for many more years to come
