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. Main body We address the main points of criticism of our publication on the SHAMISEN European project. Conclusion 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. %G English %2 https://irsn.hal.science/irsn-04074977/document %2 https://irsn.hal.science/irsn-04074977/file/2023%20Cl%C3%A9ro%20-%20Environ%20Health%20-%20Shamisen%20Tsuda.pdf %L irsn-04074977 %U https://irsn.hal.science/irsn-04074977 %~ IRSN %~ RIIP %~ INVS %~ SANTE_PUB_INSERM %~ IPLESP %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SORBONNE-UNIV %~ SU-MEDECINE %~ SU-TI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ PSESANTE %~ SESANE
