| STUDY DESCRIPTION | ||
| Following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, a sample bank of animals affected was established. Domestic livestock were collected from the evacuation zone of August 29, 2011 and organs were sampled, and either stored as formalin fixed, paraffin embedded blocks or frozen at -80C (Takahashi et al. 2015). As of the end of March 2015, organs (1,270) and peripheral blood samples (200) from 302 exposed cows had been archived, and analysis on radionuclide content carried out (Fukuda et al. 2013). More recently the sample bank has been augmented by the collection of organs from more than 400 Japanese macaques (Urushihara et al. 2018 and M. Fukumoto. Pers. Comm.). Detailed environmental dosimetry, geographical distribution and other data are available on request.
