自日本福岛第一核电站（FDNPP）事故发生以来已经过去了10年，33个反应堆中的9个已经按照核管理局概述的新规定逐步重新启动。本研究的目的是评估对核事故的风险认知，并确定与居住在玄海核电站（GNPP）附近的监护人健康相关的共同因素，该核电厂是FDNPP事故后重新启动的核电厂之一。我们向位于GNPP周围的36所幼儿园（包括预防行动区和紧急保护行动规划区）的约3400名儿童监护人分发了自填式问卷。我们收到了2249名监护人的回复。结果显示，58.9%的监护人认为FDNPP事故发生时是儿童的几代人会发生遗传效应。与此相反，28.8%的监护人对孩子食用来自福岛的食品感到担忧。回归分析显示，女性对预防性服用稳定碘（SI）的焦虑是男性监护人的1.9倍。共有1.5倍以上的女性监护人认为，遗传影响会发生在几代人谁是儿童的时候，FDNPP事故。有趣的是，总体风险认知与监护人住所与GNPP的距离之间没有显着关系。
Ten years have passed since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in Japan, and nine of 33 reactors have gradually been restarted following the new regulations outlined by the Nuclear Regulatory Authority. The purpose of the study was to assess the risk perception regarding a nuclear accident and to identify common factors related to health among guardians residing near the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant (GNPP), one of the nuclear power plants restarted after the FDNPP accident. We distributed self-administered questionnaires to approximately 3400 guardians of children in 36 kindergartens located around the GNPP, including the precautionary action zone and the urgent protective action planning zone. We obtained responses from 2249 guardians. Results showed that 58.9% of guardians thought that genetic effects would occur among the generations who were children at the time of the FDNPP accident. In contrast, 28.8% of guardians were anxious about their children consuming foods from Fukushima. Regression analysis showed that females were 1.9 times more anxious about administering prophylactic stable iodine (SI) than male guardians. A total of 1.5 times more female than male guardians considered that genetic effects would occur in the generations who were children at the time of the FDNPP accident. Interestingly, there was no significant relationship between overall risk perception and the distance of guardians’ residence to the GNPP.
