From the publication:
Introduction Five main objectives were assigned to the EC/CIS scientific collaborative programme: - improvement of the knowledge of the relationship between doses and radiation-induced health effects; - updating of the arrangements for off-site emergency management response (short-and medium term) in the event of a future nuclear accident; - assisting the relevant CIS Ministries to alleviate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, in particular in the field of restoration of contaminated territories; - elaboration of a scientific basis to define the content of Community assistance programmes; - updating of the local technical infrastructure, and implementation of a large programme of exchange of scientists between both Communities. The topics addressed during the Conference mainly reflect the content of the joint collaborative programme: 1. Environmental transfer and decontamination; 2. Risk assessment and management; 3. Health related issues including dosimetry. Conference objective The main aims of the Conference are to present the major achievements of the joint EC/CIS collaborative research programme (1992-1995) on the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, and to promote an objective evaluation of them by the international scientific community. The Conference is taking place close to the 10th anniversary of the accident and we hope it will contribute to more objective communication of the health and environmental consequences of the Chernobyl accident, and how these may be mitigated in future. The Conference is expected to be an important milestone in the series of meetings which will take place internationally around the 10th anniversary of the nuclear accident It also provides a major opportunity for all participants to become acquainted with software developed within the framework of the collaborative programme, namely: - Geographical Information Systems displaying contamination levels and dose-commitments; - Decision Support Systems for the management of contaminated territories; - Decision Support Systems for off-site emergency management (RODOS), etc. Contributors The predominant part of the conference is made up of papers from scientists involved in the collaborative programme which is part A of each session in the Proceedings. Poster sessions enabling contributors- both internal and external - to report in more detail on their work is also organized. Full papers of the posters are in part B of each session in the publication.
