Relationship between haematological data and radiation doses of TEPCO workers before and after the FDNNP accident.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the correlation between radiation dose and the medical examination data of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc (TEPCO) employees working during the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in 2011. This study included 2164 male TEPCO workers who received periodic medical examinations from March 2006 to January 2013. First, we conducted log-linear regression analyses using the haematological data of 585 emergency workers and confounding factors to examine the effect of internal radiation exposure in March 2011. Since external radiation exposure was a major influence, we then evaluated the correlation between both internal and external radiation dose and the haematological data of 1801 emergency workers and confounding factors before and after the accident.
