INTRODUCTION

Prior to the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in April 1986, a series of scientific working 
groups had been organized by the VHO Regional Office for Europe, covering various 
aspects of nuclear power production, including contingency planning for accidental 
releases of radioactive material. These resulted in a series of reports published in 
between 1977 and 1987, issued in the VHO European Series (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

On 27 April 1986, reports were received about high levels of radiation being 
recorded at a number of locations in Finland and Sweden. Although information 
was fragmentary and in some ways inconsistent, it became clear that a major nuclear 
accident had taken place in the Soviet Union and, as an increasing number of 
monitoring stations in northern and central Europe began to report enhanced readings, 
it was decided on the morning of 29 April to activate the disaster procedures of the 
Regional Office and to maintain continuous operation of an emergency room.
