General situation 1. Since the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident on 26 April 1986, the United Nations, along with the Governments of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine, has been leading the recovery and development efforts to support the affected regions. While extensive humanitarian work was conducted immediately after the accident, additional recovery and rehabilitation activities were conducted in the following years to secure the area, limit the exposure of the population, provide medical follow-up to those affected and study the health consequences of the incident. -
Lysenkoism: the Danger of Political Correctness Emily G. Badger
Badger !0 Lysenkoism: The Danger of Political Correctness Emily G. Badger Senior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,334 words Badger !1 What is truth? A simple definition of truth would be anything that can be tested and proven in a universal process, for example, the scientific method. What happens in an environment where truth is not allowed to be tested? What would the consequences be? Unfortunately, there was a time in history when this was true, and it was strikingly recent. In the late 1920’s Mendelian genetics were replaced by Lysenkoism in Soviet Russia, just before the start of World War II. Though the conflict started as a dispute of truth within scientific circles, it quickly became evident that Lysenko’s underlying motive was not to make scientific discoveries, but to gain political power. The tragic result of politically correct truth replacing scientific truth was mass starvation and ultimately the crippling of a world superpower. To understand how such a catastrophic event could occur, it is necessary to understand the political climate of the Soviet Union at the time. First, it is important to note that Russia was a communist state, which meant there was an intense hatred of anyone who was considered bourgeois, a member of the middle class who upheld the interests of capitalism rather than communism (Collins English Dictionary). Bourgeois members of Russian society were hated because they were property owners; they were not considered to be working for a living and thus were the enemy of Communism. Being called bourgeois in Russia at this time was essentially a death sentence, as those who disagreed with Communist values were “removed” by the government. -

Proposal by Tobias
International Conference, 23-25 April 2006, House of the Teacher, Volodymyrska 57, Kyiv / Ukraine „Chornobyl is a word we would all like to erase from our memory. It [opened] a Pandora's box of invisible enemies and nameless anxieties in people's minds, but which most of us probably now think of as safely relegated to the past. Yet there are two compelling reasons why this tragedy must not be forgotten. First, if we forget Chornobyl, we increase the risk of more such technological and environmental disasters in the future. Second, more than seven million of our fellow human beings do not have the luxury of forgetting. They are still suffering, every day, as a result of what happened 14 years ago. Indeed, the legacy of Chornobyl will be with us, and with our descendants, for generations to come." Kofi Annan, April 2000 On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, the Heinrich Böll Stiftung (Berlin), Ecoclub (Rivne, Ukraine), The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament, the Nuclear Information and Resource Service (Washington, DC), the World Information Service on Energy (Amsterdam), IPPNW (Germany) and Bündnis 90/DIE GRÜNEN (Germany) are inviting independent scientists, environmentalists, non-governmental organizations and sustainable energy experts from all over the world for the international conference „Chornobyl + 20 – Remembrance for the Future“ to take place in Kyiv/Ukraine on April 23-25. The conference will focus on three areas: First, the ongoing catastrophe of Chornobyl and its continuing consequences, including the release of a new study which reviews and analyzes the recently published report of the IAEA and WHO; second, the continuing safety, economic, proliferation and other problems posed by nuclear power generally; and third, the development of a roadmap to a sustainable energy future. -

Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University March 1998 Research Activities about the Radiological Consequences of the Chernobyl NPS Accident and Social Activities to Assist the Sufferers by the Accident Preface The 12th anniversary is coming soon of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the former USSR on April 26, 1986. Many issues are, however, still unresolved about the radiological impacts on the environment and people due to the Chernobyl accident. This report contains the results of an international collaborative project about the radiological consequences of the Chernobyl accident, carried out from November 1995 to October 1997 under the research grant of the Toyota foundation. Our project team consisted of the following 9 members: T. Imanaka (leader, KURRI), H. Koide (KURRI), V. P. Matsko (Institute of Radiobiology, Academy of Sciences of Belarus), I. A. Ryabzev (Institute of Problems of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences), O. Nasvit (Institute of Hydrobiology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), A.

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. -

My purpose of the final degree project is to describe what the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was for the Ukrainian society, how they lived through it, how they received information and what measures they had to take or continue taking to survive the situation. On top of this, it will also contain international reactions and information about aid programs. Therefore, the theme of this work is the Chernobyl accident and the working hypothesis is that Europe, Ukraine and America had different information about the accident. -

This analysis is related to the concept of power by Michel Foucault that is supported by the text and context based interpretation. The result of this analysis shows the Soviet Government commits the criminal jurisdiction that can be seen from hiding the truth and ignoring the cictims of nuclear explosion. Key words: Criminal, Jurisdiction, Distortion. A. INTRODUCTION After World War II, science and technology progressed rapidly. The situation brings a great change to human life. Many experts conducted research that produces products that can help human work. This condition brings great benefits to anyone. The advancement of scientific and technological has an impact on all aspects of life. Science and technology create many new theories, change the mindset of human being as well as produce better qualified product. Many people become more complex. Human ambition has crossed the line and tends to be pointed to criminality. This atmosphere creates intense competition between one people to another, a group to another group, even between one country to another. -
