Doctors: UN downplay Fukushima accident criticism of felt between the UN and the nuclear industry

Physicians question the assessment of the UN that the nuclear accident at Fukushima will not cause direct damage to health. The report of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the effects of radiation (UNSCEAR) start from different assumptions wrong, says the doctor Alex Rose of the Association of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW). "They claim, for example, that the unborn child has a similarly high sensitivity to radiation as a toddler that runs counter to every radiobiological knowledge," says Rosen. "Of course, fetuses have a much higher radiation sensitivity, their tissues, their cells divide much faster and are therefore more susceptible to radiation and mutation."

 Also, the epidemiologist Professor Wolfgang Hoffmann of the University of Greifswald shares the doubts about the report: "Now to make predictions about the future is dubious, particularly when in there is that there will be no risk is certainly not the case, it is. be an increased incidence of cancer with certainty. "
The reason for the minimization of the accident, critics see the interdependence between UNSCEAR and nuclear industry. "The UNSCEAR increasingly scientists, who have a career in the nuclear authorities of the different States in nuclear regulatory authorities, the IAEA, an organization which it writes to the flags to promote nuclear world or even in nuclear power companies to build these nuclear power plants and to operate, "said Alex Rosen. Also there is a "gag contract" between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): The WHO had no separate department that explores the health effects of radioactivity. It relies on the data of the Atomic Energy Authority.
