UNSCEAR is made up of a group of scientific professions of the United Nation. This report does not serve politically or commercially. But, it is published to assist the state governments or organisations to prevent any possible hazards as a measurement tool.
This report had analysed the populations that been affected, then predict the possible rate of increasing in cancer with this accident. It was found out that the radiation risks towards human beings has not increase (maintain stable), but to the ecosystems might have short‐term effects. With scientific method, the over dose of radioactive substances due to Fukushima nuclear accident can be controlled and maintained in a reasonable quantity.
UNSCEAR 2013 Report: The Fukushima Accident This report is published by The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR). It is to evaluate and report the levels and the effects of exposure on the ionising radiation.
Due to the mass destruction of the area, the first few days’ data were not able to collect (not only the destruction, but the rescue was the first priority). Therefore, the scientific committee used models to simulate and analyse the data (might not be accurate on the early stage). After the rescue, many countries have provided data to assist the works. For the long‐live radioactive substances, the data was able to collect with the ground soils. Furthermore, prediction can be made with the pass experiences and the basic models.
There are two volumes to this report:
a. The UN scientific committee reported the effect of the atomic radiation based on the event of Fukushima nuclear accidents.
b. Scientific findings on the effects of radiation exposure to the children.
The report is provided with both English and Japanese for the technical professionals to study. For the general publics, this report summary (fact sheet) has provided in six major languages to assist them to gained a broad understanding to the works.

The event called in this report is the Fukushima nuclear accident – 2011 great East‐Japan earthquake and tsunami. It focuses on the effects of the radiation hazards to a wide range of populations, which includes the analyse on human health/risks and the surrounding environments (ecosystems).
This report has provided a detail data from many countries that including the states involving the nuclear activities and the internationally formed organisations to provide technical information to assist the works. Therefore, the implications of this report to the technical professionals will be very useful in the research.
