【ウィーン＝石黒穣】東京電力福島第一原子力発電所事故による住民への被曝(ひばく)影響について、「原子放射線の影響に関する国連科学委員会」（ＵＮＳＣＥＡＲ）の報告書案をまとめたウォルフガング・ワイス博士が３１日、ウィーンで記者会見し、「（被曝による住民への）健康影響はこれまでなく、将来的にも表れないだろう」と述べた。

　また、事故直後、同原発から２０キロ・メートル以内の住民を避難させるなどの政府の判断が功を奏して「被曝量を最大１０分の１に抑えられた」と評価した。

　同委員会は２７～３１日、総会を開き、放射線医学の専門家ら約８０人のグループが２年かけて被曝の影響を評価した報告書案について協議した。ワイス博士は、グループの議長を務めた。

About the contamination influence on the residents because of the Tokyo Electric Power Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, Dr. Wolfgang Weiss who collated the proposed report: the "United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation" (UNSCEAR) gave an interview in Vienna; he said on the 31^st (May) that "for that, there is no health effect (on residents due to the contamination), and it will not appear in the future, either."

Moreover, immediately after the accident, the judgment of the government to evacuate residents within less than 20-km from the nuclear power plant was effective, and it estimated that "this contained the exposure dosage to 1/10 of the maximum".

The committee held a general meeting, about a group of 80 people (specialists in radiology) discussed from 27th to the 31st about the proposed report which evaluated the influence of contamination in two years. Dr. Weiss served as the chairperson of the group.

So, according to this report, the Japanese government has handled the accident well.
