4 Changes in Air Dose Rate The average air dose rate at 1m in height from the ground surface at a distance within 8km from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station decreased by about 71%* compared to levels in November 211. Legend Air dose rates at 1m in height from the ground surface (μsv/h) Range where measurement results were not obtained November 211 October 216 *The target area is divided into 25-m grid meshes and the value is calculated from the ratio of the measurement results in the central point of each grid mesh. The rate of reduction may differ when other comparative methods are used.

12 Initiatives for the Safety and Security of Food in Fukushima Prefecture Announcement of results of thorough monitoring of agriculture, forestry, and fishery products prior to shipment. Significant reduction of products that exceed standard limits (1Bq/kg) in recent years, in comparison to immediately after the disaster. Shipments of products that exceed standard limits are restricted. Products on the market are safe. The lifting of restrictions on distributions is carried out on the basis of strict criteria. State of monitoring of agricultural, forestry and fishery products produced in Fukushima Prefecture Total No. samples Classification Brown rice (produced 216) Vegetables & Fruits Livestock products Cultivated edible Mushrooms Marine Fishery products Inner water-cultivated fish Wild edible plants & Mushrooms Inland water Fishery products Approx.1.24 million 3,793 (April 1, 216 to March 31, 217) Monitoring for brown rice only was conducted from August 24, 216 to March 1, 217.

13 Initiatives for Inspections of All Bags of Rice in Fukushima Prefecture The world s first inspections for radioactive substances have been carried out on all bags of rice since 212. Results of inspections on rice produced since 215 show that all bags of rice are within the standard limit (1Bq/kg). Normal measurement mode Pass/Fail Measurement result Reference Value Pass Evaluation of monitoring, etc. by IAEA (Excerpts from IAEA report (October 216)) Measurements of cesium radionuclide levels in foodstuffs, together with appropriate regulatory action and the publication of monitoring results, are helping to maintain confidence in the safety of the food supply. Food restrictions continue to be revised and updated as necessary in line with the results of food sampling and monitoring. This indicates the continued vigilance of the authorities in Japan and their commitment to protecting consumers and trade. Based on the information that has been made available, the Joint FAO/IAEA Division understands that the measures taken to monitor and respond to issues regarding radionuclide contamination of food are appropriate, and that the food supply chain is controlled effectively by the relevant authorities. 1

Accordingly, the comprehensive monitoring system has been developed by Japan, both for seawater and for the products in the food chain. Additionally, Japan has introduced limits for food controls that are based on the international standard level. This systematic approach, together with the distribution restrictions by relevant local governments, ensures the safety of the marine fishery products in the market. 12
