title: Nuclear disaster after the earthquake and tsunami of March 11.
abstract: We would like to explain the effects of radiation on human health and discuss the       actual effects of the contamination with radioactive material present in Tokyo. Currently,       external exposure doses are within the allowable range in Tokyo and will have no adverse       health effects on adults or children. As for internal exposure doses, there will likely be no       problems as regards our ordinary dietary intakes. However, hot spots of Cs-134, Sr-90 and       others should be monitored further.
