On 11 March 2011, the Richter scale 0.9-magnitude Tokohu earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast coast of Japan, resulting in widespread injury and loss of life. Compounding this tragic loss of life, a series of equipment and structural failures at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (FDNP) resulted in the release of many volatile radioisotopes into the atmosphere. In this update, we detail currently available evidence about the nature of immediate radioactive exposure to FDNP workers and the general population. We contrast the nature of the radioactive exposure at FDNP with that which occurred at the Chernobyl power plant 25 years previously. Prediction of the exact health effects related to the FDNP release is difficult at present and this disaster provides the scientific community with a challenge to help those involved and to continue research that will improve our understanding of the potential complications of radionuclide fallout.
2011 年 3 月 11 日，里氏 0.9 级的东日本大地震及海啸袭击了日本东北部沿海地区，造成了广泛的人员伤亡。更糟糕的是，福岛第一核电站（FDNP）的一系列设备和结构故障导致大量挥发性放射性同位素释放到大气中。在本次更新中，我们详细介绍了目前关于 FDNP 工作人员和普通民众受到的即时放射性照射的性质的现有证据。我们将 FDNP 的放射性照射性质与 25 年前切尔诺贝利核电站的照射性质进行了对比。目前，很难预测与 FDNP 释放有关的确切健康影响，这场灾难为科学界提供了一个挑战，以帮助受灾人员，并继续开展研究，增进我们对放射性核素沉降物潜在并发症的了解。
