“….Radiation from Japan’s quake-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has reached harmful levels, the government says.

The warning comes after the plant was rocked by a third blast which appears to have damaged one of the reactors’ containment vessels for the first time.

Nuclear physicist, Professor Paddy Regan, described the potential health risks stemming from problems at the plant….”

PROFESSOR GERALDINE THOMAS: “Following Fukushima I doubt that there’ll be any rise in thyroid cancers in Japan and this is simply because the amount of radio-iodine that was released post-Fukushima was much, much less than released post-Chernobyl. Absolutely if you look for a problem, especially if you’re using incredibly sensitive technique which is what the Japanese are actually doing, you will find something. You will find part of that problem and you have to be careful you don’t over interpret that and worry people unnecessarily”.

WILLACY: Professor Thomas believes that unnecessary worry and fear has driven parents to make unnecessary choices.

PROFESSOR GERALDINE THOMAS: “And even post-Fukushima some women were having abortions because they were worried. The radiation would have done nothing to their prospective offspring, but the fear that that radiation was going to do something, tipped them over into having an abortion which nobody likes to know about.

“The release of radioactive materials into the environment during the Fukushima nuclear accident was substantial; but based on measurement data, the radiation doses received by the surrounding population are small, even for the most exposed communities.

“These doses produce an extra risk of cancer over a lifetime of about 1% at most, in addition to background lifetime cancer risks from all other causes of, on average, 40% for men and 29% for women.  The extra cancer risk is much lower than this outside the most exposed communities.  Radiation exposure from the Fukushima accident has had only a small impact on the overall health of the nearby population, and much less outside the most affected areas.”
