摘要：Nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl have far reaching impacts on ecological systems. Likewise they
have major implications for agricultural systems, since crops and livestock can become contaminated
and rendered unfit for human consumption. A range of ‘countermeasures’ exists however, which can
mitigate these impacts and allow food products to be saved. The CESER project has been concerned
with the development of a system to assess the environmental side-effects of such countermeasures.
Estimates of the economic costs of these environmental side-effects have been made for a number of
case study sites in the UK, using environmental models and an original contingent valuation study.
Estimates of farm level (private) costs are also included.
