Overview of the Proceedings and Papers of the NATO/SCOPE-RADTEST Advanced Research Workshop in Vienna

  • Conference paper
Atmospheric Nuclear Tests

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASEN,volume 35))

  • 187 Accesses

Abstract

The recently established SCOPE-RADTEST programme is examining releases of radioactivity due to nuclear detonations which have occurred at various test sites around the world, for peaceful and military purposes, taking into consideration both ecological and human effects. A summary of the proceedings of the NATO/SCOPE-RADTEST ARW held in January 1994 in Vienna is provided.

Editors note: The original version of this overview contained figures and tables taken from the submitted papers. To avoid duplication, most of these have instead been deleted and referenced to their source.

The accuracy and completeness of the information contained herein is not guaranteed as it relies in part upon an audio transcript of the meeting’s proceedings.
