In the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, a range of measures were implemented to mitigate the effects of radiation exposure. The immediate response involved evacuation and decontamination efforts to reduce exposure to radioactive fallout. The construction of the sarcophagus over the damaged reactor was a critical step in containing the release of radioactive material. Long-term measures included monitoring environmental contamination, health surveillance of affected populations, and implementing dietary restrictions to limit the intake of contaminated food and water.
