Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Majority of residents living near Fukushima Daiichi tested for radioactive iodine in thyroid found with abnormal exposure levels http://enformable.com/2012/03/majority-of-residents-living-near-fukushima-daiichi-tested-for-radioactive-iodine-in-thyroid-found-with-abnormal-exposure-levels/ Radioacitve iodine has been detected by Japanese scientists in the thyroid glands of 80 percent of the people who used to live near the Fukushima nuclear plant. 50 of 65 residents tested were found with iodine in their thyroid glands, but 5 had dosages of more than 50 millisieverts. The team calculated the amount of radioactive iodine exposure for each resident, assuming that the residents had inhaled radioactive iodine on March 12th, just one day after the accident. Because the half-life of iodine-131 is only eight days, emissions of the isotope from the Fukushima No. 1 plant have decayed and it is no longer possible to measure the dosage residents were exposed to.
