Counter to rumor, Fukushima Prefecture has not seen rising rates of miscarriages or abortions due to radiation exposure - or fear of it - since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11 last year, a survey reveals.
The finding suggests that radiation released from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, or stress related to it, has probably not seriously affected the physical or mental health of pregnant women in Fukushima.
