[quote:Anonymous Coward 38176253:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM4MjA1MzQ3XzNGRkY4OUVD] ?????... [b]U.N. experts see no increased cancer risk among Fukushima residents[/b] U.N. scientists assessing the health impact of the disaster-crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station said Friday their estimates based on data obtained so far show the radiation dose on residents in the region is so low they do not expect to see any increase in cancer in the future but urged that follow-up studies be conducted on residents' health. The U.N. Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation also noted that the prompt evacuation of many residents from areas around Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s plant resulted in a reduction of dose they would have received from radioactive substances released after the 2011 accident. The panel said its dose estimate of radioactive iodine, which is associated with the thyroid cancer, in most cases was below the critical 50 millisieverts, a threshold above which preventive "iodine tablets" are given to young children, but also mentioned single cases of children with a dose level up to 66 millisieverts. The doses of cesium 134 and 137 on adults for the whole body are estimated up to 15 millisieverts, much lower than 100 millisieverts of dose considered to increase risks for solid cancers. http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2013/05/227907.html .
