“…The most obvious example is the countermeasure compendia which have been well received by national and international bodies. The interaction with the FARMING network has been valuable in making sure that the practicality and realism of the countermeasures has been rigorously evaluated (Nisbet et al, 2005b). It has also emphasised the importance of not prioritising on which countermeasure is ''best'' since there is considerable variation in the evaluations by the national stakeholder groups (e.g.…”

The STRATEGY project (Sustainable Restoration and Long-Term Management of Contaminated Rural, Urban and Industrial Ecosystems) aimed to provide a holistic decision framework for the selection of optimal restoration strategies for the long-term sustainable were identified. The importance of stakeholder consultation at a local level and of ensuring that any response is site and scenario specific were emphasised. A value matrix approach was suggested as a method of addressing social and ethical issues within the decision-making process, and was designed to be compatible with both the countermeasure compendia and the decision support system. The applicability and usefulness of STRATEGY outputs for food production systems in the medium to long term is assessed.

“…Actions intended to reduce or avert radioactive contamination of agricultural products before they reach consumers have previously been referred to as agricultural countermeasures (IAEA 1994). The term 'countermeasure', although widely encountered, is often perceived by stakeholders as being a rather negative action (Nisbet et al 2005). The term 'management option' has therefore tended to be used…”

If radionuclides are released into a rural area as a result of a nuclear or radiological emergency (NRE), statutory food restrictions will be issued for places where activity concentrations of one or more radionuclides exceed operational intervention levels (OILs) in foodstuffs. The areas subject to food restrictions may be large, and for some long-lived radionuclides, there is potential for a wide range of food production systems to be disrupted for many years, unless some form of intervention is undertaken. A large number of management options for use in contaminated intensive livestock production, backyard farms and free-ranging livestock have been developed, for application pre-deposition, through to the late phase. As each NRE will be different in terms of its radiological composition and impact on the food chain, it is not possible to establish a generic strategy. Consequently, handbooks for food production systems have been developed to guide decision-makers in the selection and combining of management options, to ensure radionuclides remain below OILs. The handbooks include a stepwise process to progressively evaluate options and eliminate those deemed unsuitable, ultimately providing a short list of options on which to base the recovery strategy.

“…There is a range of possible countermeasures that could be implemented after a nuclear or radiological accident. A good summary is given in the EURANOS handbooks on countermeasures (http://www.euranos.fzk.de/), based partly on work performed in the EC projects STRATEGY (Howard et al, 2004) and FARMING (Nisbet et al, 2005).…”
