Details
Contrary to some media reports, the DOST-PNRI is not recommending the routine screening for radioactivity of travelers from Japan and other countries abroad.
No abnormal amount of radioactivity was found on travelers from Japan who requested scanning from the PNRI.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), travelers returning from Japan who have come from beyond the 20-km evacuation zone surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and who have undergone proper screening and decontamination procedures in Japan, and travelers from all other areas, do not pose a radioactive health risk to others and do not require screening.
For reporting of nuclear/radiological emergencies, you may contact the Radiological Impact Assessment Section/Nuclear Response Support Center of the PNRI through (632) 929-6011 to 19 local 285 or 311
