Field Research Report on Radioactive Cesium Contained in Persimmon Growing at Orchards of Fukushima Eight Years after the Nuclear Power Plant Accident

Authors: Kenji Kikuchi

Abstract: Test results on radioactive substances in Anpo-gaki [half dried persimmon] obtained in the year 2017 were posted on the Fukushima Prefecture website. Parts of the experimentally processed persimmon on the collection date (purchase date) in September of this year exceeded 100 Bq per kg, which is the standard value of the radioactivity concentration of foods set by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Japan. As such, measures have been taken to avoid shipping of Anpo-gaki from that area as radioactive substances released into the environment from the explosion of the nuclear power plant in March 2011 remain in the environment.
