Khmelnitsky Street, Chernobyl, 255620 Ukraine Abstract: Monitoring of radiocaesium inventories and fluxes has been carried out in forest ecosystems in Ukraine, Belarus and Ireland to determine distributions and rates of migration. This information has been used to construct and calibrate mathematical models which are being used to predict the likely longevity of contamination of forests and forest products such as timber following the Chernobyl accident. 1. Introduction Little information on radionuclide migration processes within forest ecosystems existed before the Chernobyl accident. Yet in countries such as Belarus, where approximately 20% of the national forest cover is contaminated to levels in excess of 15 Ci km"2 (555 kBq m"2), the post-contamination management of forests is a highly important economic and social problem [1]. During the period 1992 - 1995 forest sites contaminated by the Chernobyl accident in Ukraine, Belarus and Ireland have been monitored by ECP-5 to determine the magnitudes of radionuclide fluxes (principally radiocaesium) between the major components of the forest ecosystems concerned.

  • Fires in Ukraine in the Exclusion Zone Around the Chernobyl Power Plant: Point Position
    Logo IRSN April 15, 2020 avril 2020 Information note Fires in Ukraine in the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl power plant: Point position Since the publication of our previous information note on April 7, 2020, fires in Ukraine have spread nearby the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Following numerous questions received by our Institute about their radiological consequences, which, according to Ukrainian authorities, which have now been brought under control, this note provides an assessment of the possible radiological impacts for the firefighters as well as for the inhabitants of Kiev. It also reviews cesium 137 (137Cs) airborne activity levels likely to be detected in France due to the transport of contaminated air masses. 1/ Current situation as of April 15, 2020 Forest fires broke out in Ukraine about ten days ago in a territory heavily contaminated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident. These fires reached the exclusion zone and the surrounding environment (about 1 km) of the nuclear power plant from April 8, 2020 (see Fig. 1). Nearly 400 fire-fighters and 90 specialized aerial and terrestrial vehicles, including planes and water- bomber helicopters, have been mobilized for more than a week for the control of the fires. According to some estimates, the burned area reached about 20,000 ha. Ukrainian authorities said earlier this week that "the efforts of the fire- fighters and the rain have reduced the forest fire in the Chernobyl exclusion zone". They assured Tuesday, April 14, 2020 in the morning that the risks of fire spreading were now limited to isolated or smoldering fires. At the end of April 14, 2020, the Ukrainian authorities indicated that the fires were under control.

  • A REASSESSMENT David R. Marples1 Introduction This Paper
    CHERNOBYL: A REASSESSMENT David R. Marples1 Introduction This paper returns to a topic that has virtually disappeared from international discussion outside scientific circles: the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. It forms part of a new study that attempts a reassessment of the events at Chernobyl as we approach the 20th anniversary. That anniversary will come four years after the closure of the station by the Ukrainian authorities, but also at a time when nuclear power still forms an important component of the Ukrainian energy program. One reason for a new investigation is the release of over 120 primary documents by the Ukrainian branch of the KGB.2 These documents serve several useful purposes: they allow the observer to differentiate between supposition and fact in several instances, corroborating events that earlier were based—at least in part—on speculation. They allow one to perceive at first hand the workings of the Soviet structure, and specifically the relationship between the KGB and the Government Commission appointed to deal with Chernobyl. But perhaps above all, the newly released materials provide a much clearer and more composite picture of the flaws of the Soviet nuclear power industry and the way these defects were concealed from the public by official images of the operation of nuclear power. This paper cites selective documents for the reason of lack of space. The Chernobyl accident has been the subject of numerous accounts of varying quality since its occurrence. They include official reports conducted on behalf of the International Atomic Energy (IAEA, 1991, 1997) and World Health Organization (WHO, 1995); Soviet and post-Soviet accounts (Sklyarov, 1991, G.

  • Disposal of Low and Medium Level Radioactive Waste in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
    DISPOSAL OF LOW AND MEDIUM LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN THE CHERNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE V.M. ANTROPOV, V.V. ZHYLINSKY XA9745860 Scientific & Technical Centre of the RIA "Pripyat", Chernobyl, Ukraine The peculiarity of Chernobyl exclusion zone is the existence of constant and a lot of temporary points of radioactive waste of Chernobyl origin disposals in it. Chernobyl zone (exclusion zone) is the territory round Chernobyl NPP restricted in the result of Chernobyl accident with no inhabitants in it and where the economic activity was almost stopped. The exclusion zone is characterized by die irregular (spotted) distribution of radionuclides and large range of physico-chemical and radioactive composition variations, that is connected with specific radioactive releases and meteorological circumstances in the period of throwing of radionuclides from the destroyed reactor to the environment The distinction of die zone radioactive contamination is the existence of large quantity of "hot particles", and also fuel Mings in the zone adjacent to the ChNPP [1]. Reference assessments of the RAW volumes that are situated in the exclusion zone are shown at Pic. 1 [2]. In the process of territory decontamination during 1986 - 1995 substantial part of RAW which was concentrated at the most contaminated separate plots was localized and placed to different disposals[3]. At the same time in the zone there soil is large enough quantity of RAW distributed round the zone the localization. of which requires more developed technologies and equipment In Chernobyl exclusion zone there are two types of disposals. They are as follows: points of radioactive waste disposal (PRAWD) and points of temporary Localization of radioactive waste (PTLRAW), that were founded in 1986-1987 during the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident Nowadays the mam point of low and middle activity radioactive waste disposal (with the levels of y-contaminarion up to 1 R/h) in the zone, to which the RAW generated from the decontamination of territory and equipment are put up is PRAWD "Buryakovka".

Twenty three articles by authors of various professions are included about Chernobyl. The Japanese version was already published in August 2007, which contains 24 articles. (http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/tyt2004/CherTYT2004.htm) Out of them, 12 articles are included in both versions. As a specialist of nuclear engineering, I have been investigating the Chernobyl accident since its beginning. Before the 20th anniversary of Chernobyl, I hoped to start a new project to try to make an overview of “Chernobyl disaster” by collecting various viewpoints of persons who have been involved in Chernobyl in their own ways: scientists, journalists, NGO activists, sufferers etc. I thought that a new image of Chernobyl could be constructed through learning different viewpoints. Fortunately the Toyota Foundation supported my proposal. I think we could make a unique report about Chernobyl. In addition to this report, the following two reports were already published through the previous collaborations: ¾ Research Activities about the Radiological Consequences of the Chernobyl NPS Accident and Social Activities to Assist the Sufferers by the Accident.
