World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe; Copenhagen l746i 18 May 1986 UPDATED BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE NUCLEAR REACTOR ACCIDENT, USSR Updated Summary of data situation with regard to activity measurements (1) As of Sunday morning, 18 May 1986, the following measurement data have been received on the situation in the following 30 countries: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, Greece Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA, USSR, Yugoslavia. Not all data received are suitable for the particular needs of WHO for assessing the risk to human health. For that reason, a request of measurement data of specified types vas telexed to radiation protection authorities and laboratories involved in measurements. Variations within each country are large because of the substantially increased ground deposition of radioactive material where there has been rain to wash the material out from the air. It is therefore not yet easy to give representative average values for countries. What the data permit, at most, is to give an overall picture of the situation, to indicate maximum values, and to show general trends. (1) For conversion factors of radiation units see page 16.
