To the readers of CHERNOBYL - ITS IMPACT ON SWEDEN

This is the first comprehensive publication in English dealing with the radiation 
risks in Sweden from the Chernobyl accident and the countermeasures taken. It purports 
to give an overview of the very extensive information that is available from Sweden 
in various publications as well as in the form of raw data. The expected readers are 
radiation protection experts in other countries and in international organisations.

Data and analyses have been presented in English also from other Swedish bodies 
such as the National Defence Research Institute and the National Food 
Administration. The report contains addresses to several such organisations.

An elementary description of the accident consequences has been published by the 
Swedish National Institute of Radiation Protection. It is a direct translation of a 
report aimed at the various non specialist Swedish authorities handling the accident 
consequences. The report is entitled "Chernobyl - fallout, measurements and 
consequences". This publication in English might be of interest also to specialists, 
as an example of a simplified account of the events.

Scientific reports on what happened in Sweden will continue to appear at conferences, 
in scientific journals and so on. Several articles have already been prepared for 
publication and a large number of scientific institutions are involved.
