About 20% of the Swedish land area was considerably contaminated by radionuclides released by the nuclear accident at Chernobyl, Ukraine, in April 1986. However, less than 10% of the arable land was contaminated. The heavy contamination was closely correlated with the amount of rain received during the first days of May 1986. Immediate restrictions on grazing limited the early uptake of contaminants in animal products. Changes in management of animals, especially sheep, goats, and reindeer in the contaminated areas have effectively reduced the transfer of radionuclides to human beings. One important factor was the possibility of obtaining uncontaminated feeds from unaffected parts of the country. The direct costs during the first 2 years after the accident were approximately +10 million for analyses and +90 million for compensation to farmers for condemned products (milk, mutton, and reindeer meat) and reimbursement for purchase of uncontaminated feeds from other parts of the country.
1986年4月，乌克兰切尔诺贝利核电站事故释放的放射性核素严重污染了约20%的瑞典国土面积。然而，受污染的耕地面积不到10%。重度污染与1986年5月初的降雨量密切相关。立即实施的放牧限制措施减少了动物产品早期对污染物的摄取。受污染地区动物管理方式的改变，特别是绵羊、山羊和驯鹿管理方式的改变，有效减少了放射性核素向人类的转移。一个重要因素是能够从该国未受影响地区获得未受污染的饲料。事故发生后头两年的直接成本约为：分析费用1000万瑞典克朗，向农民赔偿被查封产品（牛奶、羊肉和驯鹿肉）以及从该国其他地区购买未受污染饲料的报销费用9000万瑞典克朗。
