Keywords: Childhood thyroid carcinoma; Chernobyl; Radiation induction; Treatment response; Side effects
Abstract: After the Chernobyl reactor accident, the incidence of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents living in contaminated areas of the Ukraine and Belarus increased significantly. In total, 4600 cases of thyroid cancer have been observed between 1986 and 2002 among those aged 0–18 years at the time of the reactor accident…. Thyroid surgery was performed in the Center for Thyroid Tumors in Minsk, Belarus, and radioiodine therapy followed in Germany at the Universities of Essen (until the end of 1994) and afterwards the University of Würzburg….

Keywords: Chernobyl accident; Health effects; Environmental radioactivity; Countermeasures
Abstract: …The recently completed Chernobyl Forum concluded that after a number of years, along with reduction of radiation levels and accumulation of humanitarian consequences, severe social and economic depression of the affected regions and associated psychological problems of the general public and the workers had become the most significant problem to be addressed by the authorities. The majority of the affected land is now safe for life and economic activities. However, in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and in some limited areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine some restrictions on land-use should be retained for decades to come.…

Title: Vegetation fires, smoke emissions, and dispersion of radionuclides in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
Author: Wei Min Hao, Oleg O. Bondarenko, Sergiy Zibtsev and Diane Hutton
Reference: Developments in Environmental Science, Volume 8 [PDF-560K]Sep 2009
Abstract: …The potential for large fires occurring in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (EZ) was assessed based on vegetation conditions. We reviewed
the composition of radionuclides in the soil and vegetation and in the particulate matter emitted by fires. The highest atmospheric radionuclide 137Cs levels occurred in early spring and late fall, corresponding to the most intense periods of burning in the EZ. It is evident from satellite images that smoke plumes from the EZ and southern Ukraine dispersed several hundred kilometers from the active fires and reached a major metropolitan area…. We propose to install a satellite receiving station to detect fires in real time. …
