Before the these tests, unofficial survey discovered thyroid abnormalities in 10 out of 130 children evacuated from Fukushima. Although people who conducted the survey said that they could not find a relation between the irregularities and the radiation caused by the nuclear crisis, also the government says that there are no risk if people are out of the evacuation area, people are still concerning about effects on human by the radiation.
