Report of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) assesses the levels and effects of exposure-ionizing radiation. It consolidates and summarizes, in simple terms, the Committee’s detailed understanding on the epidemiological and mechanistic studies for assessing radiation to induced cancer, heritable effects of radiation exposure, and radiation to associated non-cancer diseases as presented in previous reports to the General Assembly.
