504in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Although this value is recommended by International Commission on Radiologica1 Protection (ICRP), long-term follow-up is needed for the workers as well as monitoring their potential cancer risk. Establishing a system to protect the well-being of citizens in Fukushima Prefecture and the decontamination workers is urgently required.CONCLUSION Despite the fact that almost half year has passed since the disaster, we are still recovering from the nuclear accident. Those who were forced to evacuate have been suffering from unbearable agony. It is crucially important to learn lessons from the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which happened 25 years ago, in order to revive Fukushima and to provide the citizens with a sense of security. In this paper, we wrote evidences which were approved by United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), IAEA, WHO, and other autholized organizations because we believe that scientists are required to be sensitive to the accuracy of information when they send it to the society. Unfortunately, some professionals have presented health impacts in Chernobyl through mass media when that fact was not internationally agreed with and we think that is beneath one's dignity.REFERENCES1.
