| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In 2009, we evaluated the committed effective dose for Japanese adults due to food ingestion was 0.80mSv. This result was based on the radioactivity concentrations of 238U, 232Th, 226Ra, 210Pb, 210Po, 90Sr, 137Cs and 239+240Pu in foodstuffs.
After the Fukushima Nuclear accident , there has been an urgent need to evaluate the committed effective dose for children.We focused on schoollunch. Samples were collected quarterly at 11 nursely schools and 2 elementary schools from 11 local regions.We collected prepared lunch samples, not foodstuffs.The committed effective dose was evaluated by using the radioactivity concentrations in samples. The evaluated radionuclides were 90Sr, 137Cs, 134Cs, 232Th, 238U, 226Ra, 210Pb, 210Po, and 239+240Pu. 134Cs originated from Fukushima power plant was detected in the samples, however, no significant increase of dose due to Fukushima accident was found. The committed effective due to food intake was dominated by natural nuclides mainly consist of 210Po.
