Global report on Fukushima nuclear accident details health risks





28 February 2013 | GENEVA - A comprehensive assessment by
international experts on the health risks associated with the Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear power plant (NPP) disaster in Japan has concluded that, for the general
population inside and outside of Japan, the predicted risks are low and no
observable increases in cancer rates above baseline rates are anticipated.





The WHO report ‘Health Risk Assessment from the nuclear accident after the
2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami based on preliminary dose
estimation’ noted, however, that the estimated risk for specific cancers in
certain subsets of the population in Fukushima Prefecture has increased and, as
such, it calls for long term continued monitoring and health screening for
those people.





Experts estimated risks in the general population in Fukushima Prefecture,
the rest of Japan and the rest of the world, plus the power plant and emergency
workers that may have been exposed during the emergency phase response.





“The primary concern identified in this report is related to specific cancer
risks linked to particular locations and demographic factors,” says Dr Maria
Neira, WHO Director for Public Health and Environment. “A breakdown of data,
based on age, gender and proximity to the nuclear plant, does show a higher
cancer risk for those located in the most contaminated parts. Outside these
parts – even in locations inside Fukushima Prefecture – no observable increases
in cancer incidence are expected.”
