On the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident, the 2006 NCRP Annual Meeting provided a comprehensive retrospective review and analysis of the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear accident on human health and the environment. Topics that were discussed by international experts included:
1. the initial release, distribution and migration of radioactivity from Chernobyl;
2. efforts to cleanup, contain and dispose of radionuclides released by the accident;
3. health effects observed in emergency responders and cleanup workers;
4. exposures and health effects among populations living close to, and distant from, the Chernobyl reactor site;
5. lessons learned from the Chernobyl accident, including improved nuclear safety procedures, better preparedness for future nuclear accidents, and more effective management and mitigation of human health consequences of such events; and
6. international perspectives on the future use of nuclear technology and nuclear power in comparison with other power sources. |
