Multi-Side Approach to the Realities of the Chernobyl NPP Accident - Summing-Up of the Consequences of the Accident Twenty Years After (II) Multi-side Approach to the Realities of the Chernobyl NPP Accident - Summing-up of the Consequences of the Accident Twenty Years After (II) - Report of a research grant from the Toyota Foundation (November 2004 – October 2006) Project leader Imanaka T. May 2008 チェルノブイリ原発事故の実相解明への多角的アプローチ － 20 年を機会とする事故被害のまとめ(II) － トヨタ財団助成研究 （2004 年 11 月～2006 年 10 月） 研究報告書（英語版） 研究代表者 今中哲二 200８年５月 Preface This is the English version report of the international collaboration study, “Multi-side Approach to the Realities of the Chernobyl NPP Accident: Summing-up of the Consequences of the Accident Twenty Years” which was carried out in November 2004 – October 2006 supported by a research grant from the Toyota Foundation. 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. KURRI-KR-21, 1998. http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr21/KURRI-KR-21.htm ¾ Recent Research Activities about the Chernobyl NPP Accident in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. KURRI-KR-79, 2002 http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr79/KURRI-KR-79.htm I wish all these reports will be useful to young people who want to know about Chernobyl as well as to the generation who experienced Chernobyl and are going to reconsider it again. As the project leader, I would like to greatly appreciate authors of articles. At the same time, I express my deep apology for delaying the publication. Imanaka T.

  • Anthropogenic Transformation of Hydrological Regime of the Dnieper River
    Manuscript Number: 2701 Indian Journal of Ecology (2018) 45(3): 445-453 NAAS Rating: 4.96 Anthropogenic Transformation of Hydrological Regime of The Dnieper River Vitalii Ivanovich Pichura, Daria Sergeevna Malchykova1, Pavel Aleksandrovich Ukrainskij2, Iryna Aleksandrovna Shakhman and Anastasiia Nikolaevna Bystriantseva1 Kherson State Agricultural University, Ukraine, 73006, Kherson, Stritens'ka str. 23, 1Kherson State University, Ukraine, 7300 0, Kherson, Universitets'ka str. 27, 2Belgorod State National Research University, Russian Federation, 308015, Belgorod, 85 Pobedy Str. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Problems of rational water use and water quality assessment are the priorities of many states, especially in the basins of transboundary rivers. Creation and functioning of the cascade of Dnieper reservoirs led to a radical transformation of the hydrological regime of the Dnieper River. As a result, there occurred a significant deterioration of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of surface water quality, increase of its trophic state, reduction of the efficiency and stability of the aquatic ecosystem of the Dnieper basin, which is largely determined by anthropogenic factors. As a result of interpretation the series of space images (August, 1986-2016) of the satellites Landsat- 5, Landsat- 7 and Landsat-8 with a spatial resolution of 30 meters, the spatio-temporal trend of changes in physical (water transparency), hydrochemical (general phosphorus concentration in water), biological (chlorophyll-a) properties of water areas of reservoirs was determined. In studies trophic state index developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection was used to classify all types of water surface, including rivers. It is established that the value of trophic state index in reservoirs is distributed unevenly from 26.5 to 56.5.

  • Present and Future Environmental Impact of the Chernobyl Accident
    IAEA-TECDOC-1240 Present and future environmental impact of the Chernobyl accident Study monitored by an International Advisory Committee under the project management of the Institut de protection et de sûreté nucléaire (IPSN), France August 2001 The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Waste Safety Section International Atomic Energy Agency Wagramer Strasse 5 P.O. 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 Chernobyl Liquidator Medal—An Educational Essay
    Article Chernobyl’s Lesser Known Design Flaw: The Chernobyl Liquidator Medal—An Educational Essay Michael McIntire * and John Luczaj Department of Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, Green Bay, WI 54311, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-920-465-5131 Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 7 August 2019; Published: 9 August 2019 Abstract: The honorary Chernobyl Liquidator Medal depicts pathways of alpha, gamma, and beta rays over a drop of blood, signifying the human health impacts of the Chernobyl accident. A relativistic analysis of the trajectories depicted on the Chernobyl Liquidator Medal is conducted assuming static uniform magnetic and electric fields. The parametric trajectories are determined using the energies of alpha (α) and beta (β) particles relevant to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident and compared with the trajectories depicted on the liquidator medal. For minimum alpha particle velocity of 0.0512c, the beta particle trajectory depicted on the medal is highly unlikely to have come from a naturally occurring nuclear decay process. The parametric equations are used to determine the necessary beta energies to reproduce the depicted trajectories. This article documents the unfortunate misrepresentation of a famous scientific experiment on an honorary medal and illustrates the importance of better communication between artists and scientists. Keywords: Chernobyl; liquidator; medal; radiation; trajectories; physics; design 1. Introduction 1.1. The Chernobyl Power Station Accident and the Liquidators With near universal acceptance of global climate change by today’s scientific community, coupled with a looming energy shortage as carbon-based fuels become increasingly limited, there has been a revitalization of nuclear energy throughout much of the world.

  • Views of Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker
    NFLA Policy Briefing No.197 Date: 11th March 2020 Subject: The impact of radiation on women and the importance of women in dealing with the Chernobyl disaster – the views of Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker 1. Introduction This report is a distillation of two talks given by Linda Pentz Gunter of Beyond Nuclear International and Linda Walker of Chernobyl Children’s Project UK. These were given at a Greater Manchester and District CND meeting close to International Women’s Day. The talks were on the subjects of the impacts of radiation on women and the positive role a number of women have played in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. Beyond Nuclear International is a dynamic new web platform that tells the story of those affected by nuclear power or nuclear weapons from a humanitarian perspective. The Chernobyl Children’s Project UK was founded 25 years ago this year following a special conference held by the host Council of the NFLA, Manchester City Council. A commemorative civic reception for the charity is being hosted by the Lord Mayor of Manchester on April 27 th , the day after the 36 th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. The NFLA Secretariat would like to thank Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker for permission to reproduce the text of their talks to the meeting. The NFLA also thanks GM&D CND for organising the meeting. Please note these talks are opinion pieces and the views of the authors. 2. Talk by Linda Pentz Gunter, Beyond Nuclear International “So long as there is a woman alive” – the impact of radiation on women I am going to talk about why and how nuclear power discriminates against women and the children we care for and what we can do about it.

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].

The Impact of Chernobyl on Health and Labour Market Performance Abstract Using longitudinal data from Ukraine we examine the extent of any long-lasting effects of radiation exposure from the Chernobyl disaster on the health and labour market performance of the adult workforce. The variation in the local area level of radiation fallout from the Chernobyl accident is considered as a random exogenous shock with which to try to establish its causal impact on poor health, labour force participation, hours worked and wages. There appears to be a significant positive association between local area-level radiation dosage and perception of poor health, though much weaker associations between local area-level dosage and other specific self- reported health conditions.
