The Conference recapitulated the International Chernobyl Project of 1990 and took
particular account of the findings of two related conferences. These were: the WHO
International Conference on the Health Consequences of the Chernobyl and other
Radiological Accidents, held in Geneva, 20-23 November 1995, and the First International
Con efEherute rnfoocpee an Commission, Bela eRrhuutss ,sian Federad Utniokarn anione
the Consequences of the Chernobyl Accident, held in Minsk, 18-22 March 1996. The
Conference also considered the results of an International Forum on One Decade after
Chernobyl: Nuclear Safety Aspects, jointly sponsored by the IAEA and the UNDHA. The
Forum was held at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna on 1-3 April 1996 and addressed a
number of nuclear safety issues, including the measures taken since the accident to improve
the safety of Chernobyl type RBMK reactors and the safety of the containment structure
(the so-called sarcophagus) built around the destroyed reactor and that of the site itself.
To facilitate the discussions of the Conference, background papers were prepared
for the Technical Symposium by teams of scientists from around the world, who
collaborated ove arp eriof omd ontho ats scertain, consolidd apntaer esee hnctut rrent state

objectives of the Conference were: to agree on proven scientific facts and to clarify
interpretations and prognoses in order to dispel confusion.

Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Ms. A. Merkel, attracted high
level political participation, including that of the President of Belarus, the Prime Minister
of Ukrained na Ministers from Russiad na France. More than0 08 experts, mainlyeht ni
fields of radiation protection and nuclear safety and including medical, environmental and
engineering specialists, from 71 countries, participated. The Conference was also attended
by 208 journalists from 31 countries — an indication of the continuing interest and concern
of the international community.
An earlier publicatione ht niI AEA Proceedings Series, issuedn i September 1996,
contained a summary of the Conference results and the texts of oral presentations and
discussions at the Conference. This IAEA-TECDOC reproduces the material from the
poster presentations. It is hi two volumes: Volume 1 contains the material from Sessions 1-
4 and Volume 2 the material from Sessions 5-8 and the List of Participants.
