The survey, conducted on March 3 and 4, covered all prefectures across Japan including Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, which suffered the most damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on March 11 last year. It found that 54 percent of residents in Fukushima Prefecture were "greatly worried" about the potential health effects of radioactive materials from the nuclear plant -- twice the national average of 27 percent.
