- External exposure doses were estimated from activity records over four months following the nuclear accident for 2,055,236 residents in the prefecture as of 11 Mar. 2011.
- Out of the 467,256 people (as of the end of March 2023) who responded to the survey excluding those with experience in radiation work and those whose estimated exposure period was less than four months, 99.8% were exposed to less than 5 mSv (millisieverts), with the maximum value being 25 mSv.
*Total number of respondents: 569,438 (response rate: 27.7%)
Estimation results of external radiation exposure dose
【Prefecture-wide result】 Percentage of individuals with radiation exposure dose 0 to below 2mSv: 93.8% (excluding indivisuals with radiation work experience)
Ultrasound examinations were conducted to Fukushima residents who were around 18 years old or younger at the time of the disaster.

- The survey was conducted to understand the mental and physical health of pregnant and postpartum women, reduce anxiety, and provide necessary care.
- The survey consists of a "Main Survey" conducted about one year after a pregnancy notification has been submitted and "Follow-up Surveys" conducted four and eight years after childbirth.
- The Main Survey ended in FY2022 because the rates of premature birth, low birth weight, and congenital anomalies were found to be almost no different from government statistics and generally reported data.
- For more detailed results of the survey, please see the link below.
