Abstract
In March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident occurred and a large amount of radionuclides was released. To study its effect, we estimated the internal exposure due to intake of tap water in the early phase after the accident. As the number of measured values of tap water following the accident was limited, 131I concentration in tap water was estimated by 1-compartment model using the deposition amount of radionuclides calculated by an atmospheric transport, dispersion and deposition simulation. The internal doses for the evacuees were estimated by assuming representative evacuation patterns, and the internal doses for the non-evacuees were estimated for each municipal government. In the evacuation areas, the maximum of thyroid equivalent dose of 1- and 10-year-old children and adults were 22, 11 and 4.7 mSv, respectively. The maximum of thyroid equivalent dose of those three groups in the non-evacuation areas were 9.5, 4.7 and 2.0 mSv, respectively.
