Doses received by children and adults from the same source of ionizing radiation can have differing impacts, and therefore, should be considered separately in order to predict risk following exposure more accurately for children, according to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR)'s report "Effects of radiation exposure of children" presented at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

TEPCO, operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, has announced it plans to start a water treatment system for the flooded units 1-4 by 15 June. In addition, a desalination plant will also start up by then.
Schematic of height differential of Fukushima Daiichi reactor buildings demonstrates the extent of the water flooding problem; connections between units 1&2, (and also units 3&4), allow water heights to equalise in different buildings.
