Thyroid dose
The WHO report further states that the average thyroid dose of people living in Fukushima prefecture would
be between 10 and 100 mSv during the course of the first year, while in certain locations (the town of Namie
is given as an example), thyroid doses as high as 200 mSv could be expected. In the rest of Japan, the
estimated thyroid doses are estimated to be between 1−10 mSv

Summary of findings
1. The effects of low–level radiation (0 – 500 mSv) were systematically monitored and
investigated. In particular, the genetic effects were unclear prior to Chernobyl. This
research has been augmented by research on cells, as well as on the molecular
structures inside the cells. Despite this, the ICRP continues to give a dose limit of
100 mSv for teratogenic damage. This claim has been invalidated by numerous
studies.
2. Non-targeted effects, such as genomic instability and the bystander effect have been
found, i.e. change in the genomes of cells not directly affected by radiation.
3. The lower the radiation level, the longer the latency period before the outbreak of
cancer (established as early as 2000 by Pierce and Preston in the context of the RERF
studies)
