FUKUSHIMA--None of the 122 residents from Namiemachi and other areas in Fukushima Prefecture whose internal radiation exposure was tested in late June received doses that would endanger their health, the prefectural government said.

The prefectural government examined the residents from evacuation areas amid the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, prior to health checks for every resident in the prefecture.

Converted to a yearly level, the group's radiation exposure level was confirmed to be less than 1 millisievert.

According to Makoto Akashi, executive director of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, radioactive cesium was detected in the urine of about half of the 122 residents.
