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.
