Description

Examination of a new standard limits for radionuclide concentration in food to replace the provisional regulation value set immediately after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company (Inc.) caused by the 2011 Earthquake off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku was conducted by the Committee on Countermeasures against Radioactive Materials established within the Food Safety Commission of the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The new standard limits came into effect on April 1, 2012. This paper outlines the timeline until the establishment of the new standard limits and the views on the derivation of the new standard limits. (author)
