32 Safety of Industrial Products Japanese manufacturing industries spare no effort to ensure the safety of their products. Inspection institutions and industry associations provide testing service of the radiation levels of export products. Example of Inspection Institutions Nippon Kaiji Kentei Kyokai (International Inspectation & Surveying Organization) SK(Shin Nihon Kentei Kyokai) ANCC (All Nippon Checkers Corporation) etc. Reference: JETRO Homepage JAMA(Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) Comments on Radiation Testing Related to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Situation (April 18,2011) <extracts> The tests implemented by JAMA which are conducted directly on various designated areas of the surface of vehicles are showing results that fall within the range designated by the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan as being unthreatening to human health, based on the daily readings performed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in every prefecture since March25. Reference : JAMA Homepage: 31

33 Safety of Drinking Water The Japanese Government has been implementing necessary measures based on its stringent criteria for radionuclides in drinking water, and monitoring radionuclide levels every day. Guidance Levels for Radionuclides in Drinking Water Radioactive Iodine(I131) in DrinkingWater in Tokyo (Kanamachi filter plant) (Bq/kg) radioactive iodine(i131) radioactive cesium Japan 300 (for babies) EU 500 1,000 Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, EURATOM (Bq/kg) Japan : Bq/kg Recommendation that babies not intake tap water Japan (for babies) : Bq/kg Recommendation was withdrawn. Under detectable level Bureau of Waterworks Metropolitan Tokyo Government *On March 23, the Japanese Government recommended that the residents in Tokyo area refrain from having their babies intake tap water, but it withdraw the recommendation in two days. 32

34 Emergency Dose Limit Workers Exposed to Radiation in Fukushima Daiichi NPS, as of April 24 msv JAPAN level of exposure number of workers emergency dose limit Safety of Onsite Workers The Japanese Government closely supervises onsite workers health conditions, limiting the level of their maximum exposure to radiation to 250mSv. No workers in Fukushima NPS have been exposed to 250mSv or more (limit raised for Fukushima emergency workers) Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency ICRP s limit : 500mSv *ICRP = International Commission on Radiological Protection more than 100mSv 30 more than 250mSv 0 Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency *On March 24, three workers exposed to more than 100mSv were hospitalized, but were released three days later after no health problems were found. 33
