Fukushima Children Thyroid Cancer Rate Continues To Rise | Zero Hedge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fukushima prefecture has been conducting regular checkups of over 360,000 people who were in Fukushima in March 2011 and were age 18 or under when the nuclear crisis struck.As WSJ reported in August,<\/a>\u00a0a\u00a0study by researchers in Fukushima prefecture<\/a>\u00a0found 57 minors in the prefecture have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer so far and another 46 are showing symptoms that suggest they may also have the disease. Today,\u00a0as The Japan Times reports,<\/a>\u00a0four more children are suspected of suffering from thyroid cancer in the latest survey bringing the total to\u00a0107 out of 385,000 now surveyed<\/strong>.

Four more children are suspected of suffering from thyroid cancer in the latest survey<\/strong>\u00a0on the possible health impact of the 2011 triple meltdown at Tepco\u2019s wrecked Fukushima No. 1 plant, sources said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

The four, who were 6 to 17 years old at the time of the disaster,<\/strong>\u00a0had been diagnosed as not having the cancer in the first survey that was conducted within three years of the meltdowns, they said.<\/p>\n

\n

The first survey covered all 370,000 children in the prefecture who were aged 18 or younger at the time of the disaster. The second survey , which began last April, covers some 385,000 children, adding those born a year after the disaster struck.<\/strong><\/p>\n
