I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

I.1 THE CEC/CIS CHENOBYL COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMME

I.1.1 Objectives

The project are implemented by formation of groups from the CIS and the CEC. They 
are realized as partnerships between Eastern and Western research institutions and 
hospitals.

The aims are to increase the possibilities for training of CIS scientists; provide 
financial support to CIS institutes for allocating staff to the joint projects; 
introduce new technology and train medical specialists; improve the local 
infrastructure and create a regional research facility in each of the three republics 
Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. Thus, the budget of this programme includes local 
assistance, equipment and training for the CIS.

The overall objective of the joint programme is to complement and assist those in 
the three republics responsible for evaluating and mitigating the consequences of 
the accident. This will also allow the scientists to gain an improved understanding 
and knowledge of the health and environmental impact of radioactive contamination 
and of how it can be reduced; this will be invaluable for the management of any 
future accident.

I.1.2 Structure
The collaborative programme is composed of three different areas:
• radioactive contamination of the environment, its assessment and mitigation;
• health effects, evaluation and treatment;
• off-site emergency management.

In the first period (1991-1992) a series of five collaborative projects on 
environmental issues and two on emergency management have been initiated. In 
1992-1993 three additional projects on the health consequences of the Chernobyl 
accident were launched, and in 1993- 1994 six new projects (3 on health effects and 
3 on environmental consequences) were added making the total number 16.

In the area "health effects, evaluation and treatment", the following projects were 
launched: "Biological Dosimetry including Cytogenetics"; ''Dose Reconstruction";
''Epidemiological investigations including dose assessment and dose reconstruction";
''Molecular, cellular, biological characterization of childhood thyroid cancer"; 
Treatment of accident victims"; ''Development of optimal treatment and preventive 
measures for childhood thyroid cancer".

The present report cover the main results achieved by the 7th collaborative project 
entitled ''Epidemiological investigations including dose assessment and dose 
reconstruction" often abbreviated as ECP-7. The activities and results described 
collected and edited by the persons listed on the cover page, is the result of a major 
collaborative effort involving scientists and other staff  from the institutes and 
agencies listed below, in collaboration with other CEC supported activities in 
particular those involving ''Biological Dosimetry including Cytogenetics" (FCP-6) 
and ''Dose Reconstruction" (ECP-10).
