ABM AND SPACE DEFENSE A. Karpenko Nevsky Bastion, No. 4, 1999, pp. 2-47 The work on designing of the antiballistic missiles (ABM) began in 1946. Within the framework of the MX-C94 Wizard project the American Michigan University researched and prepared specifications for the ABM missiles intended for interception of long-range missiles of the V-2 type. The Soviet Union also started working on the ABM defense problems after World War II. Between 1948 and 1951, the NII-4 research institute of the Defense Ministry (the group of G. Mozharovsky) and the NII-885 research institute (the group of Khlebtsevich), which worked on development and application of ballistic missiles, performed the first, mainly theoretical, research of possibilities of the ABM defense organization. This research offered the schemes for ABMs equipment with two types of homing systems. For the television-guided ABMs a fragmentation warhead was offered with low-speed fragments and a circular-disc effective zone. The warhead was to be exploded with a deflection allowing for formation of the fragments' field. For the self-homing ABMs the directed effect warhead was offered, which had to turn towards the target together with the missile, and had to be exploded in response to the information of the self-homing warhead, creating the biggest density of the fragments' field directed to the target. In 1950, the Third Main Department (TGU) was organized within the Special Committee under the supervision of Lavrenty Beriya. The KB-1 design bureau, which concentrated the leading specialists developing guided missiles and homing systems, was the favorite of the TGU.

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.

Design for Chernobyl / Between Power and Plants
Design for Chernobyl / between power and plants The designers at LOLA by Silke Rainen landscape architects, L+CC architects and TALLER Architects use glass as a metaphor for the dilemma of invisible danger in Chernobyl. 2 DESIGN FOR CHERNOBYL Nature returns, even in Chernobyl. Photo Kai van Reenen What could the world possibly learn from a world that has died? Bright yellow warning signs and a silver lining! The post-nuclear landscape of Chernobyl in Ukraine has been dubbed the mother of all lost land- scapes. Humans wisely abandoned the toxic zone cre- ated by the 1986 nuclear disaster. The cruel loss of a place of human habitation has in the meantime made way for the triumphant return of wild nature, to the astonishment of scientists. Despite the radioactivity, and faster than anyone would have imagined possi- ble, life returned to the death zone. DESIGN FOR CHERNOBYL The only difference is, this is not a ‘fun place’ at all Scenes of the village of Pripyat, founded in 1970 for the workers of the nuclear plant. Photos Kai van Reenen AN OBSERVATION Luxuriant nature overlaying an invisible dan- ger made people believe it was safe to return to Chernobyl. And they have done so in large numbers. So much so that souvenir kiosks have sprung up and it is possible to take a guided tour around the site. Visitors can locate the highlights on a map that would not be out of place in Disney World. The only differ- ence is, this is not a ‘fun place’ at all. Since the region has never been granted protected status, these devel- opments are all omens that Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone could die another death.

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident : its decommissioning, the Interim Spent Fuel Storage ISF-2, the nuclear waste treatment plants and the Safe Confinement project. by Dr. Ing. Fulcieri Maltini Ph.D. SMIEEE, life, PES, Comsoc FM Consultants Associates, France Keywords Nuclear power, Disaster engineering, Decommissioning, Waste management & disposal, Buildings, structures & design. Abstract On April 26, 1986, the Unit 4 of the RBMK nuclear power plant of Chernobyl, in Ukraine, went out of control during a test at low-power, leading to an explosion and fire. The reactor building was totally demolished and very large amounts of radiation were released into the atmosphere for several hundred miles around the site including the nearby town of Pripyat. The explosion leaving tons of nuclear waste and spent fuel residues without any protection and control. Several square kilometres were totally contaminated. Several hundred thousand people were affected by the radiation fall out. The radioactive cloud spread across Europe affecting most of the northern, eastern, central and southern Europe. The initiative of the G7 countries to launch an important programme for the closure of some Soviet built nuclear plants was accepted by several countries. A team of engineers was established within the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development were a fund was provided by the donor countries for the entire design, management of all projects and the plants decommissioning. The Chernobyl programme includes the establishment of a safety strategy for the entire site remediation and the planning for the plant decommissioning. Several facilities that will process and store the spent fuel and the radioactive liquid and solid waste as well as to protect the plant damaged structures have been designed and are under construction.

After the Chernobyl Accident... More Than 1.8 Million People Still Inhabit the Contaminated Territories
ALEGRIA MONTORO PASTOR (PhD) Laboratorio de Dosimetría Biológica Servicio de Protección Radiológica WHY? After the Chernobyl accident... More than 1.8 million people still inhabit the contaminated territories. 502,377 children, residents of Ukraine, were born in families where the parents have been exposed to ionizing radiation. Countries from EU offer hosting programs for Ukranian Non-Government Organization which has a program of hosting children Ukranian children with families from Valencia (Spain). Our biodosimetry laboratory reviewed the literature in order to obtain more information on the level of human hazard due to such accidental exposure: Various cytogenetic studies reported an increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations in children from contaminated areas (Padovani et al. 1997; Barale et al. 1998). WHO found in a report (2006) a complete lack of analytical studies (Stepanova et al. 2008). One proven way to obtain information related to the absorbed radiation dose is to quantify the cytogenetic effects. OBJECTIVES To assess whether the children living in the areas contaminated by the Chernobyl accident are exposed to ionizing radiation... Started a collaboration program to assess the radiation dose absorbed by children living near Chernobyl as NGO (Spain) Biodosimetry laboratory well as the health and nutritional (Hospital La Fe, Spain) status. The aim of this study was to carry out a cytogenetic analysis of 55 Ukrainian children and adolescents living in the Chernobyl area and whose parents were exposed to ionizing radiation due to the nuclear accident. For this purpose we carried out a dicentric chromosome assay to elucidate a possible exposure to radiation from different contaminated sources.
