As a response to the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in 2011, seven TEPCO workers whose exposure doses were expected to be >250 mSv (a tentative dose limit stipulated by the Japanese central authority) attended Japan's National Institute for Radiological Sciences for additional internal dose measurements. The National Institute for Radiological Sciences examination revealed that these workers' internal doses came mainly from their intake of the radionuclide I during emergency operations. In this study, we performed numerical simulations based on individual volume-pixel (voxel) phantoms of six of the seven workers for a more sophisticated evaluation of their internal doses, taking into account the individual thyroid size and other specific parameters. The voxel phantoms were created from magnetic resonance imaging scan images. As a result, the individual thyroid volumes ranged from 6.5 to 28.2 cm and were considerably smaller than the reference value (~20 cm) adopted in the International Commission on Radiation Protection's dosimetric model for four of the six subjects. Compared to the original estimates of the thyroid absorbed dose, our preliminary evaluation revealed values that were increased by approximately 3-fold or decreased by 30% at maximum. A wide difference in the individual thyroid size would be one of the significant modifiers in the current dose estimation of subjects of the ongoing epidemiological study project. The present simulations also provided evidence that the direct thyroid measurements by the National Institute for Radiological Sciences to determine the workers' I thyroid contents were sufficiently accurate.
