ABSTRACT

In August 1986 there was an IAEA meeting in Vienna to discuss the accident at Chernobyl and Dr Gittus was one of the British representatives at that meeting. Subsequently, Dr Gittus has carried out a critical study of the accident and made a comparison of design features and emergency measures between Britain and the USSR. As a result of these studies, Dr Gittus was able to clear up a number of points for the Working Group.
