Abstract
In the area of Hama-Dori of Fukushima prefecture, the return of displaced people who are expected to be responsible in regional revival is only slight because they fear an influence of the radiation exposure even at low level during longtime of their children. In this paper, risk of gradual exposure likely received in severe nuclear power plant accident has been evaluated to provide a guide to think about how to act, by considering that the process of cancer progression after the damage of DNA due to active oxygen is the same between a natural and radiation induced cancers. The evaluated risk of radiation exposure by 100 msV/y in a lifetime is 2.7 x10 -6 /year and one order magnitude lower than a recent traffic accident.
