International audience. The Urban Remediation Working Group of the International Atomic Energy Agency's Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety (EMRAS) programme was established to improve modelling and assessment capabilities for radioactively contaminated urban situations, including the effects of countermeasures. An example of the Working Group's activities is an exercise based on Chernobyl fallout data in Ukraine, which has provided an opportunity to compare predictions among several models and with available measurements, to discuss reasons for discrepancies, and to identify areas where additional information would be helpful. © 2008 IAEA.
