Abstract

From 21.10.1990 to 01.11.1990 a Netherlands humanitarian fact finding mission on aid to people affected by the Chernobyl disaster visited the USSR. The Netherlands Government reacted positively to a request from the USSR for such aid and the aim of the mission was to gather facts for a useful aid program. To this end authorities in Moscow, but also in the contaminated regions in the RSFSR, BSSR and UkSSR were visited. Local people were interviewed, and food products were sampled tor radioactivity measurements in The Netherlands.
