Within the framework of the International Chernobyl Project, the IAEA s Seibersdorf Laboratories organised an intercalibration exercise (Cooper et al., 1992)... 

The conclusions and recommendations of the International Chernobyl Project were approved by the International Advisory Committee (lAC) at its meeting in Vienna from 18 to 22 March 1991 and they are based upon the radiological and health assessments carried out by the Project. The technical details of these assessments are to be found in the extensive Technical Report (1991). 

Many international initiatives followed the International Chernobyl Project, including those highlighted here (after Gonzales, 1996). An agricultural countermeasures project was sponsored by FAO and IAEA.

The WHO International Programme on the Health Effects of the Chernobyl Accident (IPHECA) The results of the IPHECA project were recently published and discussed at the WHO International Conference on the Health Consequences of the Chernobyl and other Radiological Accidents, held in Geneva, 20-23 November 1995. IPHECA generally confirmed the conclusions of the ICP and provided additional information on the increase in child thyroid cancer incidence foreseen by the ICP. 

The types and distribution of oral diseases observed in the residents of contaminated areas were the same as those of the residents of uncontaminated areas. Projects supported by the European Commission (EC) The EC supported many scientific research projects on Chernobyl s consequences. The results were summarized at the First International Conference of the European Union, Belarus, the Russian Federation and the Ukraine on the Consequences of the Chernobyl Accident, held in Minsk, on 18-22 March 1996. The projects produced valuable information that can be used for future emergency planning, dose assessment and environmental remediation as well as in the treatment of highly exposed individuals and in screening for thyroid cancer in children.
