In his review of the author's book, Chernobyl and Nuclear Power in the USSR in Slavic Review, No. 3-4 (1987), Marshall Goldman points out correctly that the decision to transport livestock out of the irradiated zone compounded the health hazards in the area. This is another factor that can be added to the possible future casualty rate from the accident. 18. Politicheskoe samoobrazovanie, No. 10, October 1986, p.lll. Notes 281 19.

Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria PRESENT AND FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT IAEA, VIENNA, 2001 IAEA-TECDOC-1240 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2001 Printed by the IAEA in Austria August 2001 FOREWORD The environmental impact of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident has been extensively investigated by scientists in the countries affected and by international organizations. Assessment of the environmental contamination and the resulting radiation exposure of the population was an important part of the International Chernobyl Project in 1990–1991. This project was designed to assess the measures that the then USSR Government had taken to enable people to live safely in contaminated areas, and to evaluate the measures taken to safeguard human health there. It was organized by the IAEA under the auspices of an International Advisory Committee with the participation of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The IAEA has also been engaged in further studies in this area through projects such as the one on validation of environmental model predictions (VAMP) and through its technical co-operation programme.

The dataset “Spatial radionuclide deposition data from the 60 km area around the 15 Chernobyl nuclear power plant: results from a sampling survey in 1987” is the latest in a series of data 16 to be published by the Environmental Information Data Centre (EIDC) describing samples collected 17 and analysed following the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986. The data result from a 18 survey carried out by the Ukrainian Institute of Agricultural Radiology (UIAR) in April and May 19 1987 and include information on sample sites, dose rate, radionuclide (zirconium-95, niobium-95, 20 ruthenium-106, caesium-134, caesium-137 and cerium-144) deposition, and exchangeable caesium- 21 134 and 137.

  • Systems Mutations Revealed in the National Collection of Chernobyl Mutants of Common Wheat
    Systems mutations revealed in the national collection of Chernobyl mutants of common wheat Burdenyuk-Tarasevych LA1, Zlatska AV2, Korol LV 2, Shytikova Yu V 2 1 Bila Tserkva Division of Research and Breeding, Kyiv region, Mala Vilshanka 09175 Ukraine. 2 Ukrainian Institute for Plant Varieties Examination, 15 Henerala Rodimtseva Str., Kyiv 03041, Ukraine. e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] INTRODUCTION collected from the fields, near the Chernobyl` Reactor in 1988. 2000 M4-M12 mutant lines were derived from those 239 accessions. The huge genetic diversity of wild and cultivated wheats has attracted interest from scientists all over the world. Methods. Pedigree analysis was performed for a Evolution events leaded to speciation in genus Triticum selection of the mutants. Genetic analysis (analysis of L. were caused by spontaneous hybridisation and crosses) of the mutant lines was performed to investigate environmental influence. All these events over the the genetic control of the particular phenotypic centuries have developed the current genetic diversity of characteristics. Acid-PAGE electrophoresis [2] was used wheat. In this process of evolution a key role has been to check the purity of lines and accessions and to played by mutations, without which it would be difficult confirm their pedigree. to explain the existence of a number of species, varieties and lines of the genus Triticum L [1]. It is known that in nature mutations occur quite rarely. In order to develop RESULTS AND DISCUSSION new mutants for research and breeding chemical mutagens and ionizing radiation have been utilised. The varieties Bilotserkivska 47, Poliska 70, Myronivska 808 and Kyianka had stable morphological characteristics before exposure to ionizing radiation.
