The SHAMISEN (Nuclear Emergency Situations - Improvement of Medical And Health Surveillance) European project was conducted in 2015-2017 to review the lessons learned from the experience of past nuclear accidents and develop recommendations for preparedness and health surveillance of populations affected by a nuclear accident. Using a toolkit approach, Tsuda et al. recently published a critical review of the article by Cléro et al. derived from the SHAMISEN project on thyroid cancer screening after nuclear accident.
We address the main points of criticism of our publication on the SHAMISEN European project.
We disagree with some of the arguments and criticisms mentioned by Tsuda et al. We continue to support the conclusions and recommendations of the SHAMISEN consortium, including the recommendation not to launch a mass thyroid cancer screening after a nuclear accident, but rather to make it available (with appropriate information counselling) to those who request it.
SHAMISEN（核紧急情况-改善医疗和健康监测）欧洲项目于 2015-2017 年进行，旨在回顾以往核事故经验教训，并为受核事故影响人群的备灾和健康监测提出建议。Tsuda 等人最近使用工具包方法，对 Cléro 等人源自 SHAMISEN 项目的关于核事故后甲状腺癌筛查的文章进行了批判性回顾。
我们针对针对我们关于 SHAMISEN 欧洲项目的出版物的主要批评点进行了阐述。
我们不同意 Tsuda 等人提到的一些论点和批评。我们继续支持 SHAMISEN 联盟的结论和建议，包括建议不要在核事故后开展大规模的甲状腺癌筛查，而是向有需求的人提供（适当的信息咨询）。
