Experience suggests that current nuclear accident response planning in European countries mostly has a technical focus, with less attention paid to social, psychological and ethical issues. Information provided tends to be directed towards decisions made by experts, rather than for the support of affected populations. The SHAMISEN (Nuclear Emergency Situations - Improvement of Medical And Health Surveillance) consortium, composed of close to 50 experts from 10 countries, performed a critical review of current recommendations and experiences regarding dose assessment and reconstruction, evacuation decisions, long-term health surveillance programmes and epidemiological studies. The review included case studies and lessons drawn from the living conditions and health status of populations affected by the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents, taking an integrative approach to health and well-being. Based on this work, SHAMISEN developed a series of comprehensive recommendations aimed at improving the preparedness, response, long-term surveillance and living conditions of populations affected by past or future radiation accidents, in a manner responding to their needs, while minimising unnecessary anxiety.

经验表明，欧洲国家当前的核事故应急计划主要集中在技术上，而对社会，心理和道德问题的关注较少。提供的信息往往是针对专家的决定，而不是为了向受影响的人群提供支持。由10个国家的近50位专家组成的SHAMISEN（核紧急情况-改善医疗和健康监视）财团对剂量建议和重建，疏散决策，长期健康监测计划的当前建议和经验进行了严格审查和流行病学研究。审查内容包括案例研究和从切尔诺贝利事故和福岛事故造成的人口的健康状况中汲取的教训，对健康和福祉采取综合方法。在这项工作的基础上，SHAMISEN提出了一系列综合建议，旨在以对过去或将来的辐射事故影响的人群的准备，应对，长期监测和生活条件，响应他们的需求，同时最大程度地减少不必要的焦虑。
