Sir Frederick Edward Warner FRS,[1] FREng (31 March 1910 – 3 July 2010) was a British chemical engineer.

[3] In 1986, Warner assembled a group of experts, all aged over 65, to visit the stricken Chernobyl reactor.

On returning to Britain he proposed the formation of a permanent task force made up of older scientists who would be on hand to enter contaminated areas after serious nuclear accidents to make initial damage assessments.

As a result, Volunteers for Ionising Radiation (VIR) was formed and incorporated into the emergency provisions of the Order of St John.
