There's no future for the country which neglect their children. - Masayoshi Son Softbank CEO and Donates USD$120 million to Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Efforts. Also he will set up an advisory group on the use of natural energy sources.

 

The International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends that all radiation exposure be kept as low as achievable, and for the public, on top of background radiation and any medical procedures, should not exceed 1 mSv per year.

 

For nuclear industry workers, they recommend a maximum permissible annual dose of 20 mSv averaged over five years, with no more than 50 mSv in any one year.

 

However, on April 19th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) notified the Board of Education and related institutions in Fukushima Prefecture to raise annual radiation exposure limit from 1mSv to 20 mSv. This is way to high for the children.

 

20 mSv per year is comparable to the legally recognized dose for inducing leukemia in nuclear power plant workers. It is also comparable to the maximum dose allowed for nuclear power plant workers in Germany.

 

If the government allows 20 mSv per year for the children, we will see many children suffer from thyroid cancer in five years like what happened on the children in Chernobyl.
