The current limit only accounts for the influence of 134Cs, 137Cs, 90Sr, 238Pu, 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu, and 106Ru; however, the contribution due to other radionuclides such as 3H is not included. In this study, the principle focus was the influence of 3H and the necessity for establishing permissible 3H food contamination limits in the light of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. It was found that no adjustment to 3H limits in food was required due the FDNPP accident. This is because effective doses that include the contributions of 3H would not exceed the permissible dose for food regulation in Japan as long as regulatory controls are performed using the current limits. The results and concepts in this study will prove helpful for food regulation when fusion reactors with 3H are operational.}, title = {Consideration on the Necessity of Tritium Limit in Foods in Japan — Perspective on the Current Food Regulation}, volume = {12}, year = {2017} }
