  Data are given, commentary is supplied and explanations are provided with
regard to the technical, the organizational and, of course, the human history
connected to the time of research, which resulted to the paper entitled "Soil
sampling and Cs-137 analysis of the Chernobyl fallout in Greece", written by
late Professor S.E. Simopoulos. This paper has been provided in Greek
translation within an issued honorary volume (ISBN 978-960-254-714-4).
Reasonably, the narration starts with the review of the political, the
financial and the social situation of Greece around 1986. Subsequently, an
analysis is given on the then available means, the persons involved, the
methods used, the lessons learned and any other connection with the oral
history of the NTUA's Nuclear Engineering Laboratory and other relevant Greek
Laboratories. For this history, written proof is now scarce and the persons
available to pass it on are growing less and less. N.P. Petropoulos, now
Laboratory member and then student of Professor S.E. Simopoulos was in charge
of preparation of this text.
