Too Much to Handle Radioactive Waste Management in the Post Nuclear Accident Country Ukraine
Too much to handle Radioactive waste management in the post nuclear accident country Ukraine Kyiv, 2017 Too much to handle Radioactive waste management in the post nuclear accident country Ukraine Olexi Pasyuk Centre of Environmental Initiatives ‘Ecoaction’ www.ecoaction.org.ua [email protected] This paper is a contribution to the publication: Achim Brunnengräber, Maria Rosaria Di Nucci, Ana María Isidoro Losada, Lutz Mez, Miranda Schreurs (Eds.). Nuclear Waste Governance: An International Comparison. Vol. II, to ap- pear in Springer VS, c. 300 pp We gratefully acknowledge language editing effort by Jess Wallach. Abstract In 1986, Ukraine experienced a major nuclear accident at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant (NPP); over three decades later, this event continues to define Ukraine’s waste management situation. Today, radioactive waste at the Chornobyl NPP site and surrounding exclusion zone constitutes over 98% of total solid radioactive waste. Spent nuclear fuel is excluded from this figure as it has special legal status and is not considered to be radioactive waste. Following Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union, its institutional system to manage nuclear waste problems has continually changed and has not reached the state of clear responsibilities and distribution of roles between various institutions. However, the need for this clarity is recognized by experts and proposals have been made to centralise the management system. EU and IAEA funding enables research on the waste management system most suitable for Ukraine, including deep geological disposal (DGD), regulatory system improvements and physical infrastructure. Adaptation of the Ukrainian standards and practices to the European standards will be ac- celerated in view of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.

Emergent Stateness: Critical Urban Geopolitics in Slavutych, EWJUS
Emergent Stateness: Critical Urban Geopolitics in Slavutych Nathaniel Ray Pickett University of Kansas Abstract: The city of Slavutych was built specifically to house the workers who would continue to work post-disaster at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) and their families. It was the pinnacle of Soviet planned cities, the culmination of decades of lessons learned from similar projects, and the architectural embodiment of Soviet multinationalism. However, in spite of all the excitement the new city elicited, within just a few years the now-independent Ukrainian government, under pressure from international organizations like the International Atomic Energy Association and the United Nations, established a hard expiration date for the shutdown of all ChNPP reactors, which in turn would mean economic devastation for Slavutych and render its existence wholly unnecessary. Rather than wait for the inevitable, city leaders and residents leveraged global and national interest in the Chornobyl disaster and its aftermath, drawing investments from multinational corporations, international organizations, and states to keep the city alive. Their scattergun approach to economic diversification and pre-emptive urban revitalization paid off, as Slavutych thrived even as the rest of Ukraine suffered major economic and demographic crises. This paper examines how Slavutych citizens were able to forge, and then to act upon, geopolitical relationships to mitigate the lingering social, political, and economic effects of the Chornobyl disaster in the city.1 Keywords: critical geopolitics, Ukraine, Chornobyl, urban studies. INTRODUCTION he 1986 Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) disaster was a T technogenic event with massive political, social, ecological, and biological repercussions that resulted in a wide range of state-scale policies and national-scale social transformations and adaptations in Ukraine (Baranovs'ka; Yekelchyk; Imanaka; Shevchenko).

Securing the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone Against Illegal Movement of Radioactive Materials

Physics, 15 Petersgasse, A-8010 Graz, Austria, Consultant to IAEA 4 State Customs Committee of Russian Federation, 11/5 Novozavodskaya, 121087 Moscow, Russia Abstracts. Within the framework of the IAEA Nuclear Security Program the technical cooperation project “Strengthening Security of Nuclear Materials in Ukraine” (UKR/0/008) is aimed primarily to strengthen protection the entrance/exit checkpoints of the Chornobyl exclusion zone and adjacent State borders of Ukraine against illicit movement of radioactive materials (including nuclear materials). The particular situation of the exclusion zone presents a high risk of uncontrolled movement of radioactive materials from and into the exclusion zone. In view of the future construction of the “Shelter-2” and decommissioning of the three closed reactor blocks it is expected that the traffic through the exclusion zone will considerably increase in the next years and those large amounts of possibly contaminated metal scrap, construction material and equipment will leave the zone. There is also a risk of illegal movement of radioactive waste into the zone, possibly also through the international border, which could make the zone to an illegal dumping ground for radioactive waste. As practice shows theft of nuclear materials cannot be excluded.

We Are, Ukrainians, Took the Nuclear Accident in Japan As Own Tragedy
We are, Ukrainians, took the nuclear accident in Japan as own tragedy, therefore we felt committed to stand side by side with Japan from the first days of this accident and feel obliged to be in Fukushima in the years to come. All Ukrainians know that Japan was one of the first countries that provided relief assistant to new independent state Ukraine to overcome the consequences of Chornobyl accident. 2 An-225 Mriya in Narita (March, 2011.03.23) the largest aircraft in the world made in Ukraine In 25 years, Ukraine was one of the first countries in the world that offered humanitarian aid to Japan. Ukraine is ready to continue providing more governmental support, including humanitarian, expert and technical assistance to Japan based on practical experience in various directions of Ukrainian authorities in minimizing the 3 consequences of Chornobyl disaster. Since 2011/March more than 40 Japanese delegations (parliamentary, governmental, non-governmental, research, professors teams, TEPCO, NRA experts, mass-media) visited Ukraine to explore and study the possibilities of using Ukraine’s experience 4 Around 20 Ukrainian leading post-Chornobyl experts and scientists were invited to Japan to share their knowledge and skills 5 restoration of forecasting of the Chornobyl NPS safe agricultural fields, contamination of water decommission and radiation monitoring systems and scientific transformation into of food on grounded environmental safe contaminated recommendation on system territories water protection measures dosimetric management of control

Social-Economic Consequences of the Chernobyl Catastrophe
Social-economic Consequences of the Chornobyl Catastrophe Volodymyr Kholosha First Deputy Chief of State Department– Administration of Exclusion Zone and Zone of Absolute (Compulsory) Resettlement 1. Introduction The largest in its scale and consequences man-caused catastrophe that took place on April 26 1986 on the # 4 Reactor at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic became national tragedy, condemned millions of people to sufferings, and showed how unprotected was the state in the face of global disaster in peace-time. The Chornobyl NPP disaster was responsible for serious economic losses within the former Soviet Union and beyond. The accident disrupted production as well as the normal activities of daily life in many areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russian Federation. In Ukraine, it led to a significant loss of electrical power production and a direct impact on the regional industrial economy. Further, it caused substantial damage to the agricultural economy and limited the use of the area's forests and waterways (use restrictions were imposed on 5,120 km2 of farmland and 4,920 km2 of forest). For the entire Ukraine population, the reduction in the Gross National Product and the loss of monies that could have been spent on improving health care and preventive medicine, and in other areas to promote general health and well- being was a significant blow. In 1986, approximately 116,000 persons were evacuated from areas with radiation level higher than 5 mRem per hour. This evacuation required the construction of additional housing for the evacuees. Approximately 15,000 apartments; several living quarters with a total capacity exceeding 1,000 persons; 23,000 houses; and approximately 800 social and cultural institutions were constructed during 1986 and 1987.
