We are exploring the relationship with low dose exposure diseases through dietary and internal exposure surveys of people living in areas contaminated by the Chernobyl accident. We are also collaborating with domestic and foreign experts to investigate the psychological effects of mental s tress caused by the accident at Chernobyl and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. In order to apply this result to the people of Fukushima, we are striving to manage the health of the citizens of Fukushima, centering on the branch office opened in Nihonmatsu City.
