text: The precursor to RREMS was the Radioactive Incident Monitoring Network (RIMNET), established in 1988 as a response to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. RIMNET was managed by the Met Office and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
  RIMNET data was collected at a central computer based in a DEFRA building in central London alongside a backup computer at a secret location in the UK.
