Chernobyl: A policy response study reports on how regions, countries and Europe as a continent responded to the Chernobyl accident. The responses of society to traumatic disasters which change the whole pattern of life on a continent for an extended time period are discussed. "It is highly important to talk about Chernobyl. This accident should not become taboo, an isolated freak occurrence that should never have happened and that should be ignored. Such social amnesia is a risky outcome of the crisis. To reduce this risk, efforts should be made to ask important questions: can we realize all the implications of the accident at Chernobyl? Can we be better prepared for the next occurrence?". This scientific study is cohauthored by a group of prominent scientists from several European countries, who had as their common goal a wish to give a lucid view of the status of scientifically validated knowledge on the risk responses in Europe after Chernobyl.
