Activists fault WHO on Fukushima radiation
AUSTRALIAN anti-nuclear activist Helen Caldicott has accused the World Health Organization of downplaying the health impact of nuclear fallout from the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
In a New York symposium marking the second anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown in Japan, Caldicott and other doctors have taken issue with WHO’s conclusion in a recent report that it did not expect a significant surge in cancer in Japan or elsewhere due to radiation leaks.
“It’s a report that was meant to reassure people who, almost certainly, many will develop leukemia and cancer,” said Caldicott, whose Helen Caldicott Foundation co-sponsored Monday’s symposium, along with Physicians for Social Responsibility.
“What is going to happen is there will be a high incidence of cancer and leukemia and genetic disease” due to the leaks, she said.
Caldicott said the WHO report, released on February 28, had numerous major shortcomings, key issues it “ignored” or “glossed over”.
For one, she said, WHO did not take actual radioactive emissions into account, relying on estimates.
The UN health body also did not examine the impacts on children comprehensively, including what the impact would be of eating radiation-contaminated food over a lifetime.
The agency also did not closely examine the impact on workers at the Fukushima plant or on people from the area who evacuated through the plume of radiation that came from the plant, she said.
“As a physician, I abhor what they’ve done,” Caldicott said.
