Waaaiiit a minute…
I was looking for more information on the post I wrote about the lumps on the thyroid 5.1 millimeters or bigger in diameter found in 0.7% or 26 children out of 3765 children tested in Fukushima Prefecture. I was specifically looking for information on the number of children who had any lump at all.
I’ve just found it in an unlikely place: Fukushima Minpo, local Fukushima newspaper. I thought they would obfuscate, but they have the details. The article looks like it is a part of a longer article; it is possible it is abbreviated from the article in the print version of the newspaper.
It turns out,
Total number of children tested: 3765
No. of children found with lumps 5.1 millimeters and larger: 26 (0.7% of total)
No. of children found with lumps smaller than 5.1 millimeters: 1117 (29.7% of total)
1143 children, or 30.4% of children tested, were found with lumps of varying sizes.
From Fukushima Minpo (1/25/2012):
検討委員会では、浪江、飯舘両町村、川俣町山木屋地区の18歳以下を対象にした甲状腺検査の結果が報告された。3765人のうち、「直ちに二次検査を要する」と判断された県民はいなかった。
At the expert commission, the result of the thyroid test was reported. The test was done on the children below the age of 18 in Namie-machi, Iitate-mura, and Yamakiya District of Kawamata-machi [all planned evacuation zone]. Of 3765 children, there was no one who was deemed necessary to immediately go through further testing.
直径5・1ミリ以上のし こりなどが確認され、二次検査の対象となったのは26人(0・7%)だったが、検討委座長の山下俊一福島医大副学長は「原発事故に伴う悪性の変化はみられ ない」と説明している。二次検査が不要の3739人(99・3%)のうち、1117人(29・7%)は5・0ミリ以下のしこりなどが確認されたが、県は 「良性」と判断している。
26 children (0.7%) have been found with lumps with 5.1 millimeters or larger in diameter, and will go through further testing [at some time]. However, Shunichi Yamashita, the head of the commission and the vice president of Fukushima Medical University explains, “There is no malignant change due to the nuclear plant accident”. Of 3739 children who will not need further testing (99.3% of children tested), 1117 children (29.7%) have been found with lumps 5.0 millimeters or less in diameter. But the prefectural government has decided they are “benign”.
