Posted here are excerpts from the analysis by the German section of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War of WHO’s recent health risk assessment of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.

How can pro-nuclear countries continue to support this type of very dangerous technology, denying that an accident will ever occur on their soil?

- Recent clinical findings were not taken into consideration
- Non-cancer diseases are not included in the health risk calculations
- The authors’ neutrality has to be doubted
