矢ヶ崎克馬（琉球大学理学部教授）Prof. Katsuhiko Yagasaki
(Abstract translation by Mia)
The
Fukushima Health Survey team has been using wholebody counter with
high detection limit (more than 300Bq/kg) to measure the amount of ionizing radiation
exposure in the residents in Fukushima prefecture.
Prof. Katsuhiko
Yagasaki of Ryukyus University, Okinawa, Japan commented that
Wholebody counter has been used to downplay the danger of internal
exposure.

Prof.
Yagasaki wrote an article, explaining the difference between the
wholebody counter and the urine test in detail. In his article he commented that it's wrong to say everybody is fine, using only the result of wholebody counter.
The
reasons why:
尿中のセシウムは0.1
Bq/l(リットル)
まで測定可能ですが、この値から全身被曝量を計算すると、子どもの場合、全身について約6
Bqに相当します。ところが報告されているホールボディーカウンターの検出限界は250～300
Bq.
2.Only gamma radiation can be detected. It can not detect alpha or beta radiation.
He also commented that it would be difficult for the Fukushima fallout victims to claim compensation with the result of "No Detection" by wholebody counter.
(Editor's
note)
I
can not possibly translate all of what he has to say. I hope somebody
wil,l because Prof. Yagasaki's opinion has been well respected. He is
the one who helped Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs survivors to be able to
receive compensation after long battles against Japanese government.
He also wrote a statement of facts for The Fukushima Collective
Evacuation Trial
*INCORPORATED RADIO CAESIUM AND CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOLOGY Bandazhevsky Yu I, Bandazhevskaia G. Inst. of Radiation Safety Minsk Be.
“Clinical investigation of children showed satisfactory nutrition but chronic levels over 30 Bq/kg body weight were often associated with serious cardiovascular diseases. “ http://www.llrc.org/health/subtopic/russianrefs3.htm
*Noro Mika's comment on children's health.
Doctors
in Belarus recommend children with 20-50Bq/kg body weight to
go to recuperation for a while. If it's more than 50Bq/kg, and
doing nothing about it, for sure those children will develop some
radiation related illnesses in their future.
(Editor's
note)
Early
detection is so important. It's impossible to detect illness
early, using wholebody counter. Now 27 children already
developed thyroid cancer. Come to think of it, as soon as
Prof. Yamashita was appointed as a head of the Fukushima Health Survey Team,
huge amount of money was allocated to build an extension of the area
for thyroid operation as if they knew what would happen. The Fukushima Health Survey has been doing the same
thing what RERF, the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (=ABCC) did to Hiroshima/Nagasaki victims.
"Measurement for scientific guinea pig."
I just found that according
to the official website of Fukushima Health Survey, they used even
higher detection limit than 300Bq/kg in July 2011.
Page
5 109 residents were measured as of July 2011.
Detection limitI-131:
38 Bq
Cs-134:
320Bq
Cs-137:
570Bq

*Fukushima prefectural government stopped urine test for “peer pressure”

On
10/25/2012, Fukushima Diary reported Fukushima prefectural government
commented they put higher priority to measure radioactive substance
in beef than urine test of humankind. [Link]
Urine
test is known to be more accurate to measure the internal exposure
than WBC.
According
to the report of Fukushima prefectural government released
on11/19/2012, They decided not to conduct urine test of Fukushima
people for the
peer pressure-
Everyone says we should conduct WBC more ethan urine test, we can't
choose urine test.「尿検査よりＷＢＣとみんなが言っている状況で、尿に舵（かじ）を切れない」

福島県、内部被曝検査を1～3歳まで拡大へ…事故後に生まれた子供を含む5万人を新たに検査(7/1 読売新聞)
The Fukushima Health Survey Team announced that they are going to check 50,000 young children (aged 1-3)using wholebody counter
to detect internal exposure. They are going to start checking in
Ohkuma-machi, Tomioka-machi, Kawauchi and Kuzuo from this August. Up
until now they have been limited to check only pregnant women and
children (aged 4-18). Since June, 2011 This method of checking
internal radiation exposure started to operate in June, 2011. So far
360,000 residents have been examined.
