Abstract (English):
Current paper is devoted to the main outcomes of the 64th UNSCEAR Session which took place in Vienna during 10 – 14 June 2018. Within the framework of the meetings of the working group and subgroups the documents on the following projects were discussed: - Biological mechanisms influencing health effects from low-dose radiation exposure. - Developments since the 2013 UNSCEAR report on the levels and effects of radiation exposure due to the nuclear accident following the great East-Japan earthquake and tsunami: review of 2016 scientific literature including an evaluation of thyroid cancer data in regions affected by the Chernobyl accident. - Exposure of patients to ionizing radiation. - Exposure of workers to ionizing radiation. - Selected evaluations of health effects and of risk inference due to radiation exposure. - Lung cancer from exposure to radon and to penetrating radiation. In the course of the discussion, some organizational issues such as preparation of UNSCEAR publications, feasibility of establishing standing working groups, public outreach activities, future research program, report to the General Assembly etc., were considered.
