According to The Japan Times, "more than 3 milisieverts radiation has beenmeasured at 15 Fukudhima rural residents and urban Litate Kawamata. Affirming the occurrence of internal radiation exposure to the citizens of Fukushima." Similarly, As reported on TG Daily, Tuesday (06/28/2011).
Miliseverts is the unit used to measure the amount of radiation dose received by a person.

Kamada team of other doctors from the hospital Saito Osamu Watari in Fukushimacity has conducted two rounds of tests. They took urine samples from 15 people at an interval of 4 to 77 years of age.
Radioactive iodine was recorded as high as 3.2 millisieverts of six people in the initial survey, but on the second survey they did not find it.
"The figures show that the accumulation of external exposure to the outside is between 4.9 and 13.5 millisieverts, which puts the total between 4.9 to 14.2millisieverts for two months," they said.
"The numbers do not exceed a maximum of 20 millisieverts within a year, but we wantpeople to use these results to make the decision to move from that place," saidKamada.
However, it is not known how many people will actually go from Fukushima.
