Description

Costs per life-year saved (CPLYS) were assessed for the regulations of the foodstuffs contaminated with radioactive substances released from Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant. The values for CPLYS for vegetable regulation are 11 to 160 million yen, while the CPLYS for beef regulation is 370 million yen, the values for rice regulation is 300 million to 1 billion yen, and the value for dried persimmon is 280 million yen. Those values are as high as those for the past regulations of chemical substances, but higher than the WTP-based value for the benefit per life-year saved except for the regulation of vegetables.
