The United Nations Scientific Committee on
the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR)
is a committee of the United Nations
established by the General Assembly in
1955. It is composed of scientific experts
nominated by 31 Member States.
"The independent scientific evaluations of the Scientific
Committee remain widely recognized and highly regarded
as the basis of radiation safety worldwide."
Secretary-General António Guterres
The Committee's mandate is to assess and
report on the levels, effects and risks of
exposure of people and their environment to ionizing radiation.
Governments and organizations throughout the world use the
Committee's findings as the scientific basis for deciding on
protective measures for the public and the environment. Its
reviews are relevant to scientists, users of ionizing radiation and
policymakers.
The Committee's programme of work is endorsed by the General
Assembly. The Committee compiles relevant data submitted
by United Nations Member States, international organizations
and non-governmental organizations, as well as peer-reviewed
scientific literature, and engages specialists to analyse those
data, to study relevant scientific topics and to produce scientific
evaluations. After approval by the Committee, these authoritative
reviews are published as scientific annexes to the Committee's
report to the General Assembly. They provide the scientific basis
for national and international recommendations and standards
for the protection of people and the environment.View entire presentation
