Despite its vital role, UNSCEAR faces several challenges:
- Data Accessibility: Obtaining high-quality, consistent data from different countries and sources can be difficult.
- Evolving Technology: Rapid advancements in technology, such as nuclear energy and medical imaging, require continuous updates to radiation risk assessments.
- Public Perception: Misunderstandings and fears about radiation can complicate the communication of scientific findings to the public and policymakers.
