The goal of this summary is to draw attention to a number of data sets concerning the health effects of ionizing radiation, which were collected by the scientists in the former USSR. The Chernobyl accident of 1986 was only the most recent and the most publicized nuclear accident. The report of the Soviet Union to the International Atomic Energy Agency experts` meeting in Vienna August 25 to 29, 1986, was very impressive, both in the amount of detailed work that went into it and in the release of information unprecedented for the Soviet (or any previous Russian government). However, data on the earlier accidents were until recently classified.
