Bq (Becquerel) is the unit of radioactivity. One Bq
corresponds to radioactive decay per second. |

N.D. (Not Detectable) means that the radioactivity
of the sample is less than the lower detectable limit. |

""FY"" means fiscal year. The fiscal year begins
on April 1 in Japan. For example, FY1999 means from April 1, 1999
till March 31, 2000." |

Guideline values are defined specifically for each power
station and are equivalent to the maximum dose value, 50 mili Sievert/year.
Sievert (Sv) is the unit of radioactive dose that represents the effect
of radiation on the human body. Ordinary, the natural dose to the
human is estimated 2.4mSv/year (United Nations Scientific Committee on
the Effects of Atomic Radiation UNSCEAR 2000 Report).http://www.ssi.se/nyheter/Aktuellt/unscear.pdf
The Japanese law provides that the dose equivalent limit caused by nuclear
power station to public is 1mSv/year. " |
