This booklet shows the actual amount of radioactive contam-ination caused by the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, as revealed by Japanese citizen sci-entists.

In the aftermath of the accident, citizens around Japan be-gan to question the Japanese government’s initial radiation exposure assessment, the scope of their radioactivity mea-suring, and their method of information disclosure. With the aim of reducing citizen exposure to radiation, we established Minna-no Data Site, an independent nonprofit network of radioactivity-measuring laboratories, to conduct extensive food measurements and release this information to the public.

More specifically, over a three-year period starting from October 2014, we measured the concentration of radioactivity (cesium 134 and cesium 137) in the soil (in Bq/kg) as part of the “East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project” and publicized the results online as a collection of maps.

According to legislation enacted five years after the Cher-nobyl accident, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus were responsible for measuring both air dosage (μSv/h) and soil concentration (Bq/m2). And using these measurements, the authorities were required to establish criteria for relocation and compensation. The Chernobyl legislation guarantees relocation and recuper-ation rights to residents from areas where the exposure dose was estimated to be above 1mSv/year.

In contrast, after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, soil measurements were more or less not conducted outside of Fukushima Prefecture, and the govern-ment has only published estimated numbers of the deposition amount of radioactive cesium and the air dose rate one meter above the ground. The soil concentration figures released by the government are nothing more than estimates, and be-cause the method of display was just an approximation, it is impossible to correctly ascertain the actual amount of con-tamination in areas where citizens actually live.

In order to address this unsatisfactory state of affairs, we so-licited the cooperation of citizens from around the country to help us carry out this soil measurement project in an attempt to fully grasp the total amount of radioactive fallout which fell on eastern Japan (excluding Hokkaido) as a result of the triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP.

As a result of this investigation, we determined that the radioactive contamination was by no means limited to Fuku- shima Prefecture and that one hundred years from now there will still be several highly-contaminated areas where humans should not live.

Now, eight years after the accident, not only has the gov-ernment yet to establish a criterion for radioactive concen-tration in the soil, but the authorities are continuing to enforce the policy of compelling people to return to their homes if the air dose rate goes below 20 mSv/year.

Seen from the standpoint of international standards of public health and radiological protection we cannot turn a blind eye to this unacceptable situation. With the Summer Olympics and Paralympics scheduled to be held in Tokyo in 2020, we decided to publish this booklet in order to respond to questions and concerns from people around the world about the current state of radiation contamination in Japan.

This book is a digest version of our bestselling Japanese book, Illustration: 17 Prefecture Radioactivity Map & Close Analysis which was self-published in November 2018, and was awarded the Japan Congress of Journalists Prize in July 2019.

With the publication of this English booklet, we are hop-ing to inform people around the world about the actual amount of contamination in Japan, and at the same time, we are calling on the Japanese government to correct the following two problems:

CORRECTION OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD CONCERNING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS 100 Bq/kg AND 8,000 Bq/kg With regards to the clearance rule for radioactive materials, prior to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident if the level of radioactivity was more than 100 Bq/kg there was a strict storage obligation.

However, with regards to radioactive contaminants derived from the Fukushima accident, the government is permitting anything less than 8,000 Bq/kg to be incinerated or disposed of as ordinary waste; an irresponsible policy which leads to the unnecessary spread of radioactive materials.

We are calling on the Japanese government to correct this double standard and are demanding a return to the pre- accident clearance level of 100 Bq/kg.

Also, with regards to soil contamination, we are asking the government to not rely simply on the air radiation dose (sieverts) as they have been doing up until now. Instead, we are calling on them to guarantee appropriate rights of evac-uation and compensation that meet international standards based on zone classification depending on the soil concen-tration of radioactive material.

RESTORING THE ANNUAL PUBLIC DOSE LIMIT FROM 20 mSv TO THE PRE-ACCIDENT LEVEL OF 1mSv A YEAR.The Japanese government has not yet cancelled the nuclear power accident state of emergency declaration, which was enacted on March 11th, 2011.

Based on this declaration, the public dose limit was raised from 1mSv/year to 20 mSv/year and the government is forceful-ly requiring evacuees to return to their homes in areas where the dose limit does not exceed 20 mSv/year.

We are calling on the authorities to abolish the 20mSv standard repatriation policy and to return to the pre-accident public standard annual dose limit of 1mSv. Minna-no Data SiteSeptember 2019 Citizens’ Radiation Data Map of Japan Digest Edition Project Team

Data Site is often asked why we decided to measure soil radioactivity concentration Bq/kg (from here on referred to as becquerels) even though the Japanese government only measured the air dose rate (from here on referred to as sieverts). We will explain our reasoning below.

Why Measure in becquerels?

HOW DID THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT MEASURE RADIATION AFTER THE FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACCIDENT?To start the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (English acronym: MEXT) and the Japanese Nuclear Regulation Authority conducted aerial measurements at an altitude of approximately 300 m above sea level and calculated the air dose rate in sieverts. Then they averaged the air dose at 1m above the ground in a diameter of 300 m to 600 m.

Finally they estimated the deposition amount of radioactive cesium (becquerels) on the surface of the ground, and then

used these estimated figures to publish their soil contamina-tion map.

On top of the fact that these were estimated values based on supposition, on the government published contamination map there is no distinction for contamination below 10,000 becquerels per square meter. Therefore, for any value less than this amount, there is no raw data we can use to confirm detailed contamination.

It was for this reason that Data Site felt the need to launch a project to directly collect and measure the soil using becquerels.

USING CITIZENS’ SIMPLE MEASUREMENT DEVICES TO MEASURE SIEVERTSDuring an emergency, sieverts are useful for determining how much radioactivity has turned up at any given location, and are also the sole important measuring unit to determine how much one is being exposed to radiation at any given time, or how much the area around someone has been contaminated.

Unfortunately when measuring in sieverts, more than just

radionuclides derived from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident are displayed on the screen. In addi-tion to this radiation, the total value of nuclides from past nu-clear weapons testing, nuclides derived from the Chernobyl accident, and radiation derived from uranium and thorium and other natural nuclides are also all detected and displayed.

TRENDS SEEN IN HIGHLY CONTAMINATED ZONES For a long period of time after the Fukushima accident, in highly contaminated spaces, radiation came flying from all over and was detected by measurement devices.

Gamma rays which fly through the air do not easily decay, and only after 200 m are they finally cut in half. In extreme cases when faraway mountains are heavily contaminated more radiation is detected from gamma rays emitted in the moun-tains than from gamma rays being emitted from directly below one’s feet. As a result, radiation from sources other than in the soil in the immediate vicinity can be a dominant cause of error.

TRENDS SEEN IN LOW POLLUTION ZONES In areas where there are low levels of contamination, even though the contamination is much less than in highly con-taminated areas, there are still acres and acres of land contaminated with soil which contain radiation levels above 100 Bq/kg. This soil would have been placed into yellow drum cans and classified as low-level radioactive waste had the contamination occurred prior to the Fukushima accident. How-ever, it should be noted that is not possible to detect these low levels of radiation when measuring in sieverts from above the ground. Only by directly measuring the soil using becquerels, it is possible to detect such low-level soil contamination.

THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING SOIL RADIATION LEVELS

Due to the above mentioned trends, even if one were to draw a map of ground contamination from radiation derived from the nuclear power plant using sieverts, or if you were to estimate the future state of contamination, you would not be able to fully understand the accurate contamination in each unique location nor would it be possible to propose concrete countermeasures.

By using a specialized device to measure in becquerels and then calculate the attenuation of radioactive substances adsorbed and captured in the soil, it was possible to find out exactly how much of each nuclide came from the Fukushima accident.

A high priority of this project was to measure the amount of Cs-134, which has a half life of two years. By only measuring Cs-137, which has a half life of thirty years, it would have been very difficult to differentiate between radioactivity derived from

previous nuclear weapons tests, and radioactivity derived from the Fukushima accident. With those time constraints, and by sampling a large area and conducting measurments, it was possible to do a becquerel attenuation correction calculation for every measuring spot, which made it possible to carry out a comparison of each spot and thus draw an even more accurate contamination map.

The reason that we thought it was necessary to conduct soil measurements over such a wide area and for a period of three years is that we wanted to determine the real state of radioactive contamination caused by the Fukushima accident, and leave a record of radiation diffusion to future generations.

The fact that we have been able to publish a map with the estimated cesium contamination one hundred years from now, while the Japanese government has not been able to do so, is one of the biggest achievements of our becquerel mea-surement project.

When carrying out our activities, the word “contamination” has caused us a lot of anxiety. Over the course of our work we began to wonder if it might be possible to not use the phrase “radioactive contamination” in the book.

When we carry out measurements of cesium 134 and cesium 137, we get results showing how many becquerels are present. However, if we say this land is “contaminated”, then wouldn’t we be hurting the feelings of the people who live there, as well as the people who work in the rice fields, the vegetable fields, the farms, and the mountains? These thoughts never ceased to cross our minds.

We heard people saying things such as “I don’t want to think about radioactivity anymore” or “I’ve decided to live as if there was no radioactivity”, and we realized how much the thought of “radioactive contamination” was affecting their well-being.

So, after careful consideration and debate, we decided not to use the word “contamination” in the Japanese title of this book. However, as for the contents of the book, we could not ignore the fact that the nuclear accident spread radiation, and it was with a heavy heart that we had to spell out the facts and use the word contaminatio throughout the text.

What is the East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project?

As a result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident on March 11, 2011, an extensive area of eastern Japan was exposed to radiation.

From 2012 to 2013, a citizen group called “Soil Research Project Iwate” collected soil samples and conducted measurements of radioactive soil contamination from over 300 locations in Iwate Prefecture.

In order to grasp the full extent of soil contamination in eastern Japan, Minna-no Data Site (Everyone’s Data Site) started the “East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project”

in the seventeen prefectures in eastern Japan, where the Japanese government was carrying out radiation testing of agricultural produce. Data Site adopted the method used by “Soil Research Project Iwate”, which was to directly mea-sure the amount of radioactive material in becquerels per kilogram (Bq/kg).

From October 2014 to September 2017, over 4,000 citizens collected soil samples from over 3,400 locations with the goal of measuring radioactive cesium in the soil and visually showing these results on a map of eastern Japan.

Free measurements took place from the start of the project to the end of January 2017. Since then, measurement lab-oratories have been charging a flat fee of 2,000 yen (about $18 USD) per measurement.

Aomori, Iwate*, Akita, Miyagi, Yamagata, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Yamanashi, Nagano, Shizuoka, Niigata. (Iwate Prefecture measurements began in 2012 by a group called “Soil Research Project Iwate”)

TARGET AREAS: 17 Prefectures in Eastern Japan

BACKGROUND OF THIS PROJECTWhat prompted Minna-no Data Site to initiate this labor- intensive project? It is not as if there was no data issued by the government and other authorities, which measured the quantity of becquerels in the soil using a standardized process.

However, most of this data was not useful to citizens be-cause of the way it was collected. For example, much of the data came from limited areas, such as one sample taken every several kilometers. In addition farm soil samples were taken at a depth of 15 cm, which does not show the contamination at the surface of the ground. Furthermore, much of the data was

merely estimated using a formula which referenced air dose rates measured by airplane.

Citizens wanted answers to questions such as “Where is it safe for our children to play?” or “What is the actual level of contamination around our homes?” The lack of answers to these questions made many people uneasy, and led to the decision to carry out the “East Japan Soil Becquerel Mea-surement Project” while it was still possible to detect Cs-134, which has a relatively short half-life. By doing so, we were able to determine the amount of contamination brought about by the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident.

SOIL RESEARCH PROJECT IWATE AS A MODEL PROJECT

When initiating the “East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project”, Data Site referenced research which had been ex-tensively conducted by “Soil Research Project Iwate” from 2012 to 2013 in Iwate Prefecture.

In this project, a laboratory based in Nagoya called C-Labo, and a citizens’ group based in Iwate called “Protect Chil-dren from Radiation Exposure Iwate” planned and promoted the project together with the cooperation of three citizens’ measurement laboratories, “SAVE CHILD iwate”* from Iwate

Prefecture, “Kanegasaki” from Iwate Prefecture, and “Chiisaki Hana” from Miyagi Prefecture.

The aim of the project was to get at least one sample from each and every municipality in Iwate Prefecture. The mothers involved in the project chose locations which were of concern to them, such as parks in the southern part of the prefecture, and in total they carried out soil measurements in three hun-dred sixteen different locations. In the end, they compiled a color-coded map which was entitled “Radiation Contamina-tion Map of All Iwate Prefecture” *“SAVE CHILD iwate” withdrew from Data Site in May 2018.

STANDARDIZING THE SAMPLING METHOD BECAME THE KEY TO SUCCESS

Before the start of the “East Japan Soil Measure-ment Project”, citizens brought in many soil sam-ples, and the various participating laboratories carried out numerous measurements. However, it soon became apparent that the soil samples had been taken from different depths, and that details about where the samples were taken from were not necessarily clear. For this reason, it

was not possible to widely compare the results with each other. With the start of the project we insisted on standardizing the sampling method, and by doing so it became possible to obtain valid data which could be compared with the data collected by MEXT (Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Sci-ence and Technology) or data which had been collected after the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Thus, only soil samples taken using the following standardized method were admitted as part of the project sample.

PERIOD OF THE PROJECT: Oct. 2014 to Sep. 2017

How to Select a Sampling SpotIf you have an air dosimeter, check the air dose of the surrounding area. Avoid hotspots, where the air dose is extremely high, and select a sampling point where the soil has not been re-placed, covered, or cleaned.

Be Sure to Make Notes in Your “Field Notebook”Make detailed notes about the landscape, geographical condition and surrounding environment. When examining the data at a later date these notes will be the only clues available.

Measure the Air Dose (if possible)Measure the air dose of the sampling point at two points (5 cm above ground and 1m above ground) and record this data in your field note-book along with the model type of your air dosimeter.

Obey the Unified Sampling Depth of 5 cm Take the surface soil at a depth of exactly 5 cm, and collect slightly more than 1 liter of soil. This is the same depth used in samples in Chernobyl and by MEXT. You’ll get a higher figure if you take only highly contaminated surface soil, whereas if you take deeper uncon-taminated soil the figure will be relatively lower. After collecting the soil, place it inside two plastic bags and insert a ‘control slip’ with the sampling location written on it in between the two bags.

Sift and Dry the Soil before MeasurementBefore measuring the soil, either the person taking the sample or someone at the measurement lab-oratory must sift and dry the soil to remove any impurities.

ENSURING EVERYONE TAKES ACCURATE SAMPLES When seeking the assistance of average citizens, we published and made available the following tools so that everyone collect-ed soil in the same manner, and from suitable spots. l Sampling manual complete with photos l Comic book version of the sampling manual, complete with questions and answersl Video showing the correct sampling method

l Courses (held over one hundred times in various locations) to explain the sampling method

WORKING TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF SOIL MEASUREMENTS

Most of the citizen measurement laboratories use NaI Scintil-lation Detectors (using Sodium Iodine).

When using this type of detector, depending on the make of the detector, the measurement results can be affected if there are low levels of radioactive cesium and high levels of naturally present radioactive materials. Therefore, for the im-plementation of this project we developed and implemented an accuracy control method in order to ensure the accuracy of the soil measurements.

First, a test sample was prepared by mixing together contam-inated soil from Fukushima Prefecture with uncontaminated soil from the Chugoku Region of southern Japan which contains high amounts of natural radioactive materials such as uranium, thorium, and their daughter radionuclides.

Then this test sample soil was measured using all of the

detectors and the measure-ment data was analyzed so as to determine a method to judge whether or not the natural radioactive materials were in-tervening in the measurement results. Over the course of a year the judgement criteria for when to carry out data cor-rection was established with the goal of publishing more accurate measurement results.

With the funds from a grant from the Takagi Fund for Citizen Science, the “Project to Improve and Examine the Accuracy of the Measure-ment of Radioactive Cesium Concentration by NaI Scintillator” exam-ined and verified each detector using both high concentration (low volume) samples and low concentration samples.

HOW TO DEAL WITH HOTSPOTS In the project, hotspots were excluded from the collection target in order to compare the relative contamination of each area on the map. On the other hand, interspersed hotspots from various places could not be ignored.

So, a sub-project entitled “Environmentally Concentrated Becquerel Measurement Project” was established and we

requested the assistance of a citizen’s group called “Hotspot Investigators for Truth” (HIT) to carry out hotspot measure- ments. The results of this project have been categorized into twelve different patterns of hotspots and the actual measurement results have been published on our website: https://en.minnanods.net/soil/hotspot.html

 このマップで表示している放射能汚染は、福島第一原発から4回にわたる爆発やベントなどによって放出された大量の放射能が、放射性プルームと呼ばれる「見えない雲」となってその時々の気象条件によってさまざまな方向に流れ、また降下沈着した結果の累積である。 概観すると、最も深刻な汚染は福島第一原発のサイトから北西方向にのびて伊達市、福島市、宮城県の丸森町まで広がっている。その中心域は最大の汚染域であり今後100年間は人が立ち入るべきではない帰還困難区域(337k㎡)である。7市町村約2万4千人が故郷を失った。土壌サンプリングが出来ていないエリアなので、このマップの空白域として注意しなければならない。伊達市のあたりで汚染域は分岐して、一方は福島県中通りを南下し、栃木県北部、群馬県北部へとのびている。中通りには福島市や郡山市などがある。福島県で最も人口が集中している地域であり、チェルノブイリ法の「移住義務」「移住の権利」ゾーン相当地点が並んでいて、2018年に至ってもそれらの一部が残っている。100万人以上の人々が深刻な初期被ばくをした可能性がある。 栃木県北部では福島県でないというだけの理由で、除染予算もおりず健康検査も行なわれず、除染土や除染廃棄物の行き場がないままに個人宅や公共施設などに積み上げられている。もう一方は宮城県南部、宮城県北部、岩手県南部へと北上している。宮城県南部の丸森町、白石市、岩手県南部の一関市など2市2町も、栃木県北部と同様に無施策状態のまま放置されている。さらに、原発サイトから南下して茨城県南部の霞ヶ浦南岸を汚染し、千葉県北西部を経て東京都、埼玉県に至る流れもある。千葉県北西部の市町では除染土を秋田県小坂町の民間処分場に運んで処分しているが、松戸市の除染土から8,000 Bq/kg超の汚染土がみつかって搬入禁止になったことが報道された。 汚染がほとんどなかったのは青森県、秋田県であるが、青森県にも放射性プルームの一部が到達し、六ケ所村の核燃施設のモニターがそれをとらえていた。秋田県ではCs-134/Cs-137比は低いながらも、少なからず全般に検出されている。 山形県、山梨県、長野県、静岡県、神奈川県、新潟県にも広く汚染が認められる。山形県は、奥羽山脈の西側に明らかな汚染がみられ、キノコや山菜、クマ肉(出荷規制)の汚染も無視できない。山梨県は周囲を囲む山岳地帯によってプルームが阻止されたものと思われる。長野県は長野、北信、東信地域でコシアブラや野生キノコで基準超過するものが出ている。静岡県では伊豆半島東部が県内で最も高い。事故後1年目には特産品であるお茶の汚染が深刻であった。神奈川県は、横浜市の一部と小田原市にやや高いところがある。小中学校などの雨水再利用施設汚泥の校内保管、除染土壌の敷地内埋め立てを危惧した市民の教育委員会追及があった。新潟県では南魚沼市にやや高い汚染がみられ、福島県会津地方を水源とする阿賀野川が放射能を運び、水道水のI-131汚染(最大76 Bq/L)や指定廃棄物相当の浄水汚泥が発生した。山菜やクマ肉の出荷規制も行なわれている。 拡散した汚染を注視し、今後も食品や土壌の放射能測定を少なくとも数十年は継続していく必要がある。とりわけ山菜、キノコ、野草、ジビエは要注意である。詳しくは各都県のマップとその解説をご覧いただきたい。

The radioactive contamination shown on this map is the accumulation of radioactive materials released as a result of the triple explosions and various venting events at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. During the accident massive amounts of radioactive materials were emitted from the plant, forming radioactive plumes. Then, depending on the meteorological conditions at the time, these plumes dis-persed in various different directions as invisible clouds and eventually fell to the ground.

The most severe contamination can be seen spreading from the area immediately around the Fukushima Daiichi NPP in a northwest direction towards Date City, Fukushima City, and Marumori Town in Miyagi Prefecture. The center of this area is the most contaminated area and is designated as a “difficult-to-return zone” (337km2) where humans should not enter for the next one hundred years. Approximately 24,000 people from seven municipalities can no longer live in their hometowns because of this designation. It should be noted that it is impossible to take soil samples in this area, and as a result this region appears as a blank area on the map. Around Date City the contaminated area forks off and one branch ex-tends south through the center of Fukushima Prefecture into northern Tochigi Prefecture and northern Gunma Prefecture.

The large cities of Fukushima and Koriyama are located in the center of Fukushima Prefecture, called the “Nakadori Re-gion.” This is the most densely populated area of Fukushima Prefecture, and even in 2018 there are still localities within this area which would be classified as “compulsory reloca-tion” and “entitled to relocation” according to the legislation enacted after the Chernobyl accident. It is possible that over one million people were subjected to severe initial exposure in this region.

In northern Tochigi Prefecture, there is neither govern-mental support for decontamination nor health examinations, simply because it is not part of Fukushima Prefecture. Due to this, contaminated waste has been piling up at private resi-dences and public sites, with no place to go.

Another branch of contamination extends north into southern Miyagi Prefecture, northern Miyagi Prefecture, and southern Iwate Prefecture. Marumori Town and Shiroishi City in southern Miyagi Prefecture, as well as Ichinoseki City and four other municipalities in southern Iwate Prefecture have also been neglected and without governmental support in the same way as the municipalities in northern Tochigi.

There is also a stream of contamination which flowed south from the nuclear power plant along the southern coast of Kasumigaura City in southern Ibaraki Prefecture, into northeastern Chiba Prefecture, and continued into Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture.

Although the prefectures of Aomori and Akita received very little contamination from the accident, a small portion of the radioactive plume was detected by the monitoring posts at the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant located in Rokkasho

Village in Aomori Prefecture. Although the level of Cs-134/ Cs-137 is low in Akita Prefecture, it has been universally de-tected in every region of the prefecture.

The contamination has been widely detected in Yamagata, Yamanashi, Nagano, Shizuoka, Kanagawa and Niigata Pre-fectures. Yamagata Prefecture has obvious contamination on the west side of the Ou Mountains, with undeniable con-tamination to mushrooms, wild vegetables and bear meat to which shipping restrictions have been applied. In Yamanashi Prefecture the radioactive plume seems to have been blocked by the surrounding mountains.

In northern and eastern Nagano Prefecture, radiation levels exceeding the safe level have been detected in wild mushrooms and other edible wild plants such as koshiabura, a type of local mountain vegetable. In Shizuoka Prefecture, the highest level of contamination can be seen on the East Izu Peninsula where serious contamination was detected on green tea leaves harvested one year after the accident. In Kanagawa Prefecture, relatively high levels of contamination are visible in parts of Yokohama and in the city of Odawara. In these cities, citizens called out the Board of Education for at-tempting to store rain water sludge and trying to bury contam-inated soil on the grounds of elementary and middle schools. In Niigata Prefecture, relatively high levels of contamination have been detected due to radioactive water which flows into the prefecture from southern Fukushima Prefecture via the Agano River. Specific examples include tap water con-taminated with iodine 131 (Maximum 76 Bq/L) and radioactive sludge from water purification with radioactive levels equiv-alent to specified nuclear waste (above 8,000 Bq/kg). As a result, restrictions are being placed on shipments of wild mountain vegetables and bear meat.

[Summary]• Taking into consideration the wide-spread contamination, it will be necessary to continue measuring food and soil for at least the next few decades. • Above all, special precautions need to be taken for wild mountain vegetables, wild mushrooms, and game meat.

Eastern Japan 17 Prefecture

Radioactivity Measurement MapESTIMATED VALUE OF CESIUM 137 IN JULY 2020

We have received many inquiries from overseas about radio-active contamination at the time of the 2020 Olympics, so we prepared a map which shows the estimated value of cesium 137 derived from an attenuation calculation.

This map was prepared using data from soil samples collected during the East Japan Soil Becquerel Mea- surement Project over a three year period from October 2014 to September 2017. Based on the actual measure- ment value of Cs-137 Bq/kg on the sampling day and using March 15, 2011 as a starting point, we did an attenuation calculation to figure out the theoretical value on July 1, 2020. Then using Data Site’s original color coded scale, we displayed the results of this cal- culation on the map. It should be noted that this map shows attenuation based on calculation, and therefore there is no guarantee that these values will be met. Furthermore, the value of each sampling location is not indicative of the typical contamination level for the entire region.

2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic GamesJuly 24th through August 9th

ParalympicsAugust 25th through September 6th

The Olympic Games will take place at venues over a wide area of Japan from Sapporo (on the northern island of Hokkaido) to the foothills of Mt. Fuji (to the west of Tokyo). There is particular cause for concern about nearby soil contamination at a soccer venue in Miyagi, at baseball and softball venues in Fukushima, and at the torch relay which will commence from the J-Village Stadium which is located in the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and was used as an accident response base at the time of the accident. The Paralympic Games will be held at twenty one venues in Tokyo.

WITH REFERENCE TO “THE ATLAS” PUBLISHED AFTER CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT

Five years after the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Accident, the three ex-Soviet countries which suffered heavy contamination (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus) enacted the Chernobyl Law, which aimed to reduce human radiation ex-posure by establishing strict contamination exclusion zones based on air dose and detailed soil contamination measure-ment data.

In the Contamination Atlas published by the Russian Feder-ation and the Belarus Ministry for Chernobyl Affairs, there are eight maps that show contamination in each province from immediately after the accident for every ten years until seven-ty years after the accident. These maps are being used as the basis for when the general poulation will be able to return to their respective hometowns.

After the Fukushima accident, the Japanese government only once carried out a soil measurement, which was limited to soil in selective locations in Fukushima Prefecture, and after that, it has relied solely on the air dose rate when draft-ing contamination countermeasures.

Moreover, the government is imposing a severe standard of 20 mSv/year (which in Chernobyl corresponds to the

Mandatory Resettlement Zone), and residents are being forced to return to their hometowns if the exposure dose goes below this threshold.

Contamination Map at the time of the accident (1986)

Contamination Map seventy years later (2056)

A “100 YEARS FROM NOW” PREDICTION MAP IS ONLY POSSIBLE, PRECISELY BECAUSE SOIL BECQUEREL MEASUREMENTS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED

The map above is a Prediction of Radioactive Con-tamination in Eastern Japan, which was drafted following the example of the Chernobyl Atlas. Itwould not be possible to draft such a prediction map, based solely on the estimates of air dose that the government carried out by ai craft monitoring. Cesium-134 has a half-life of 2 years and rapidly decays, whereas Cesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, decreases at a much slower rate along the blue decay curve to the right. According to this prediction map, there will still be many areas not suitable for people to live 100 years from now. Because it was not possible to carry out soil measurements in the “difficult-to-return zone” adjacent to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, the forecast there is even more serious than whatis shown on this map.

* The Belarus Atlas was drafted using Ci/km2 (37 billion Bq/km2), but this mapuses Bq/kg. When converting Cesium into area the MDS analysis uses the same area conversion method as the Japanese Ministry of Environment which assumes that the specific gravity of the soil is 1.3, while radioactive Cesium remains in the soil surface layer (0-5cm).

* Because the Chernobyl Law was enacted five years after the disaster, they left out Cs-134 which had for the most part ceased to exist by that time, and used only Cs-137 in their monitoring and map drafting. From 2021 onward, this map also only uses Cs-137. * Due to weather disturbances and other factors, it is possible that radioactivityreduction proceeds at a faster rate than anticipated in this map, but this should not be overly expected.

According to this prediction map, there will still be many areas not suitable for people to live 100 years from now. Because it was not possible to carry out soil measurements in the “difficult-to-return zone” adjacent to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, the forecast there is even more serious than whatis shown on this map.

THE ATLAS: Forecast of Radioactive Contamination due to the Chernobyl Acci-dent in Russia and Belarus 2009 Edition

Contamination Map at the time of the accident (1986)

Contamination Map seventy years later (2056)

A “100 YEARS FROM NOW” PREDICTION MAP IS ONLY POSSIBLE, PRECISELY, BECAUSE SOIL BECQUEREL MEASUREMENTS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED

The map above is a prediction of radioactive contamination in eastern Japan, which was drafted following the example of the Chernobyl Atlas. It would not be possible to draft such a pre-diction map, based solely on the estimates of air dose that the government carried out by aircraft monitoring.

Cs-134 has a half-life of two years and rapidly decays, whereas Cs-137, which has a half-life of thirty years, de- creases at a much slower rate along the green decay curve to the right. According to this prediction map, there will still be many areas not suitable for people to live one hundred years from now. Because it was not possible to carry out soil mea-surements in the “difficult-to-return zone” adjacent to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, the forecast there is even more serious than what is shown on this map.

*The Atlas was drafted using Ci/km2 (37 billion Bq/km2), but this map uses Bq/kg. When converting cesium into area the Data Site analysis uses the same area conversion method as the Japanese Ministry of Environment which assumes that the specific gravity of the soil is 1.3, while radioactive cesium remains in the soil surface layer (0-5 cm).

*Due to weather disturbances and other factors, it is possible that radioac-tivity reduction proceeds at a faster rate than anticipated in this map, but this should not be overly expected.

In the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident, Cs-134 and Cs-137 were emitted at a ratio of about 1:1. Because the ratio of Cs-134 is larger in comparison to the Chernobyl accident, the sum of the two nuclides is being monitored in Japan.

DATA SITE DEVELOPED ITS OWN ACCURACY CONTROL METHOD TO CONFIRM THAT MEASUREMENTS WERE BEING DONE ACCURATELY

In order to record and publicize their data, all of Data Site’s participating measurement laboratories had to ensure that the accuracy of each and every measuring device was above an adequate standard. The way to guarantee this was to imple-ment “measurement accuracy control”.

When Data Site was established in 2012, Mr. Jyunichi Ohnuma of C-Labo and others developed their own accuracy control method as a way of confirming whether or not each citizen measurement laboratory was correctly measuring radioactive contamination in food products. The method they came up with was to create a standard brown rice mix using cesium-contaminated brown rice from Fukushima Prefecture. Contaminated brown rice was mixed with non-contaminated brown rice into four different sample batches (3 Bq/kg, 10 Bq/kg, 50 Bq/kg, 100 Bq/kg) using a germanium semiconductor nuclide analyzer, and the four marked samples were packaged

together as a standard kit. Every year each participating citizens’ laboratory carried out measurements of the sample kit one after another and the results were evaluated using the “En Number test”. If the En number wasn’t between plus 1 and minus 1, the measurement was considered a failure, and the cause was investigated.

Furthermore, when carrying out the “East Japan Soil Bec-querel Measurement Project”, a separate accuracy control method had to be developed because of the difference in the ranges of the measured values of food products and soil measurements. For further information about this accuracy control method, please see the introductory section about the “East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project”.

THE FUNCTION OF DATA SITEData Site has the following four major initiatives:A. To collect and publicize radioactivity measurement data from the participating measurement laboratoriesB. To improve the knowledge and measuring techniques of the participating measurement laboratoriesC. To carry out our own analysis and survey research based on the collected dataD. To publish opinions based on the results of our survey research with the aim of influencing countermeasures and resolving problems related to radioactive contamination. In order to make these initiatives sustainable we rely on continued measurement requests from citizens around the country.

THE HISTORY OF DATA SITE2011: The Fukushima accident occurs and massive amounts of radioactive materials are emitted into the surrounding environ- ment. After the accident many grassroots radioactive measure- ment laboratories start springing up in various locations around Japan. Worried about their children’s health, many concerned citizens begin asking these laboratories to measure their food in an effort to detect radioactive contamination. 2012: Various citizens’ groups come together and establish Data Site with the aim of collecting and making public the food measurement data compiled independently by each measure-ment laboratory. The goal is to construct a database and pub-lish all of the data in the same format on a single website. 2014: In January, the “East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project” (Soil Project) is conceived, and in October, with almost no budget in place, the project commences with fundraising and soil measurement activities taking place in tandem. 2017: In December, Data Site is awarded the grand prize of the “Hizumi Fund for Promotion of Information Distribution”. The awarding committee praised the citizens’ continuous efforts to transmit and distribute information and their efforts to visualize the problem of radioactivity.2018: In November, Data Site self-publishes “Illustration: 17 Prefecture Radioactivity Map & Close Analysis” which show-

cases the results of the three-year-long “East Japan Soil Becquerel Measurement Project” and the results of the six-year-long food measurement analysis. The book also provides commentary and basic information about radioactivity. 2019: In July, the book is awarded the Japan Congress of Journalists Prize.

DATA SITE FUTURE ACTIVITIESUsing measurement data, Data Site will continue working to-ward visualizing the radioactive contamination caused by the nuclear accident in Fukushima and leave a record of this con-tamination for future generations. Data Site will continue to distribute information to all those who require this data and, in an effort to protect the future of children everywhere Data Site will continue carrying out measure-ment activities. We in-tend to keep sounding the alarm to the people so that this type of accident will never be repeated.

Minna-no Data Site (Everyone’s Data Site) is a network of 30 citizens’ radioactivity measurement laboratories from all over Japan as of July 2019.

After the 2011 Fukushima accident, many independent citizen-operated radioactivity measurement laboratories sprang up across Japan.

In September 2013, a website called “Minna-no Data Site” was established in an effort to integrate all of the radioactiv-ity measurement data into a common platform and dissemi-nate accurate information in an easy-to-understand format.

As of July 2019, the Data Site website is home to approx-imately 16,000 cases of food measurement data, more than 3,400 cases of soil measurement data, and 1,700 cases of environmental samples (ash, river water, etc).

In 2018, the results of the “Environmental Concentration Becquerel Measuring Project” (which identifies hotspot measurement data) were also made public on the web-site. Additionally, a section on basic information about radioactivity called “Learn” was uploaded to the Data Site website. The goal of the Data Site website is to publish easy-to-understand data for everyone to have access to.

Measurement Laboratories participating in Data Site continually carry out radioactivity measurements while regularly confirming the measurement accuracy of their measuring devices based on Data Site’s self-developed ac-curacy tests.

The administration of the network is carried out by a steering committee made up of members of the measure-ment laboratories and members of the Data Site secretariat.Data Site is a non-profit volunteer group with no affiliation to political parties, social groups, or religious groups.

DETERMINING THE CAUSE OF FAILURE LED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE MEASUREMENT ACCURACYThere were a wide-ranging number of causes which resulted in accuracy control failures. For example, in one measurement laboratory, located on the first floor of a building, it was deter-mined that gamma rays emitted from uranium and thorium and other natural radionuclides located within the aggregate (sand and gravel) used in concrete, and their daughter nuclides, radon gas, obstructed the measurement accuracy and prevented the improvement of the quantitative limit. The problem was overcome by improving ventilation, washing the measurement

containers, and implementing other reinforcement measures. Additionally, there were several instances of domestically-

manufactured measuring devices by the same manufacturer being unable to successfully measure samples below 10 Bq/kg.

As a result of tenacious negotiations and discussions with the manufacturer, which claimed that “the specification can only guarantee accuracy up to 10 Bq/kg”, Data Site convinced them to release a comprehensive improvement of the analytic software and as a result of this reform it became possible to detect even lower values.

RAISING THE STANDARD OF MEASURING TECHNIQUE AS A NETWORK

After the Fukushima accident many non-expert citizens rushed to buy measuring devices and start their own measurement labs, and consequently in the early stages there was no shortage of elementary mistakes. In addition to measurement accuracy control, Data Site has held annual technical training sessions and en-couraged technical information exchange via e-mail on a regular basis in an effort to overcome these basic mistakes.

When making public measurement data, we would like you to know that Data Site made use of our strength as a network and worked hard on technological improvement in an effort to be responsible for the numbers we publicized as citizen laboratories.

In closing we would like to thank Mr. Tamotsu Sugenami of the Takagi Fund for Citizen Science for his considerable assistance in developing the accuracy control method from the infant stages of Data Site.

Sitting in the center of the boxes of bottled water is a Nal scintillation radiation detector. Instead of using regular Geiger counters, we need this type of sophisticated equipment for measuring radio- activity in food and soil. Germanium type detectors are even more accurate, but each unit costs over $100,000! That’s why we need your support!

An example of trying to lower the detection limit and shorten the mea-surement time by using a lead and iron plate and water as an addition-al block. (120 kg of additional lead, 42 boxes of water totaling 250 kg)
