From the publication:
Foreword This brochure presents brief summaries of the research activities and results of the sixteen EU-CIS collaborative projects carried out over periods up to five years on the consequences of the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The projects were made possible through a special budget created by the European Parliament and the research collaboration was formalised in an Agreement made between the Commission and the relevant ministries in Belarus, the Russian Federation and the Ukraine. The different research projects cover the transfer of radioactive material through the environment and into the chain food, a study of decontamination strategies and restoration measures, the investigation of health effects arising from the accident and the development of emergency management procedures for improvement of overall emergency preparedness. Each of the research projects has been executed in a cooperative venture between a group of institutes in the European Union and a group of institutes in the three Republics. The brief summaries of the projects presented here are intended to whet your appetite and you are invited to consult the Final Reports of the projects which interest you most in order to learn of the research work in more detail The Final Reports are published as an EUR series listed in this brochure and can be obtained from the Scientific Secretariat. The experience gained was only possible through the scientific collaboration with the CIS, and is thus unique. The overall objectives of the joint programme have been attained and the information obtained is of great value for the development of radiation protection.
