〇 Japan has the world’s strictest level of standards for managing the radioactive contamination of food.
Foods exceeding the standards are not allowed to be distributed.
〇 The additional annual radiation dosage received when eating average meals is about 1/1000 of 1mSv.

The DILs shown are the upper limits allowed for food to be distributed in the supply chain. DILs are set formonitoring purposes and are not standards for determining whether food is safe or not for consumption. As
different countries assume different proportions of their food supply is contaminated with radiation duringcomputation, these numbers by themselves are not comparable.
While the Codex Alimentarius Commission(CAC), EU and Japan all adopt 1mSv per year as the upper limit forradiation dosage from food, Japan used the assumption that a higher ratio of foodstuff could becontaminated with radiation, resulting in the lower values for DILs.
The CAC was jointly set up by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and theWorld Health Organization (WHO) in 1963. The CAC oversees the Codex Alimentarius, a set of international
standards for food, to protect consumers’ health and to promote fair international food trade. As ofDecember 2022, member states of CAC include 188 nations and the EU.

Created based on market basket survey results conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
from February to March 2022•

A market basket survey is one method of estimating the intake of various foodadditives, etc. In this method, the amount of additives, etc. are measured forfoods sold at retail venues such as supermarkets, which values are used toestimate the average intake of food additives etc. based on food intake resultsfrom the annual National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHNS)•In this survey, food actually circulated in 15 regions nationwide was used toestimated the annual radiation dose received from radioactive cesium (sum of Cs134 and Cs-137) in foods.

Measures for Food Safety in Fukushima Prefecture○ Announcement of results of thorough monitoring of agriculture, forestry, and fishery products prior to shipment.
○ Very few foods have exceeded the standard limit (100Bq/kg).
○ Inspections are conducted on all rice that is produced. No rice has exceeded the standard limit since the 2015 harvest.
Since the 2020 harvest, monitoring has shifted to sampling inspections.
(With the exception of rice grown in former evacuation zone regions).
○ Necessary measures are in place to ensure that foods are not distributed in the market if found to have exceeded
the standard limit.

The Fukushima Fisheries Cooperative Association has implemented an
additional test independently concerning marine fishery products.
Their standard (50Bq/kg) is stricter than a national criteria(100Bq/kg).

food products to ensure food safety.

Current State of the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS)○ TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station is currently maintaining stable safety conditions, and the possibility of anotheraccident is extremely low. Due to various measures, impacts on the surrounding environment have been greatly decreased.
○ To proceed with the decommissioning of the Power Station, which is required for reconstruction, from April 2021, after a
preparation period of 2 years, it was decided to release ALPS treated water into the ocean on the premises that safety isensured and the government will thoroughly implement countermeasures against unfounded rumors. The specific timing ofthe sea release is expected to be around the spring or summer of 2023.

→ IAEA commends that these measurescontribute to the protection of the workers,
the public and the environment(J2019)*Monthly average of the measurement results from the monitoring post(MP.5) at the site boundary of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear PowerStationMeasures taken up until now have significantly improved the water quality ofsurrounding waters. It has been confirmed that global quality standards for drinking
water have been satisfactorily met.

Values from the monitoring post at the site boundary have decreased substantiallywhen compared to immediately after the accident and are in a stable state.

Handling of ALPS Treated Water
 (1) Purification of nuclides other than tritium, and (2) dilution of tritium concentration
by seawater before releasing it into the ocean bring the concentration of radioactive
materials in the treated water to a level well within regulatory standards.
 The radiation impact from the release is extremely small compared to the impact fromthe natural world.
