Since the authors’ previous paper, 44 605 new dose estimates have been made. The new dose estimates increase the number of dose estimates to 465 999 and are reported in this note. Since the previous paper, most of the recently collected responses have been gotten through public relations activities to encourage responses across the prefecture. Thus, recent respondents might be biased (‘selection bias’). Also, the dose estimates were based on self-administered responses about personal behaviour, which relied on memories of residents. In this respect, incorrect behaviour records possibly resulted as memories have faded over time (‘recall bias’). However, the effects of these biases on dose distribution on a whole-prefecture basis seemed to be small.}, pages = {402--406}, title = {The latest update on individual external doses in an early stage after the Fukushima nuclear accident}, volume = {187}, year = {2019} }
