Title: Cytogenetic study in lymphocytes from children exposed to ionizing radiation after the Chernobyl accident
Author: L. Padovani, D. Caporossi, B. Tedeschi, P. Vernole, B. Nicoletti, F. Mauro
Reference: Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology, Volume 319, Issue 1, September 1993, Pages 55–60
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0165-1218(93)90030-H
Keywords: Chernobyl; Chromosome aberrations; Biological dosimetry
Abstract: The present study concerns the monitoring of children from the Byelorussian, Ukrainian and Russian republics exposed to the fall-out of the Chernobyl accident. Cytogenetic analyses have been performed on 41 children coming from different areas and exhibiting varying amounts of 137Cs internal contamination, as evaluated by whole-body counter (WBC) analysis. On a total of 28670 metaphases scored, radiation-induced chromosome damage is still present, although at a very low frequency. Due to the very low fraction of dicentrics, because of the time elapsed from the accident and the relatively low doses of exposure, radiobiological dosimetry is not possible for these children. However, considering that the WBC data indicate that the children are still exposed to 137Cs contamination, the observed occurrence of stable chromosome rearrangements and breaks may represent the persisting effect of continuous low doses of radiation. The present study also indicates that the parallel use of internal contamination dosimetry and cytogenetics could be usefully employed to monitor individual exposure to radiation and to define further management measures.

Title: Estimation of the ratio of 90Sr and 137Cs activities in the Chernobyl depositions in the territory of the Russian Federation
Author: Ermilov A.P., Ziborov A.M.
Reference: Journal: Radiation and Risk (Bulletin of the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry), Year: 2001 Issue: 12
Keywords: contamination, cesium-137, strontium-90
Abstract: Correlative relationship between activities of 90Sr to 137Cs in condenses of the Chernobyl fallouts on April 26, 1986 was detected. The ratio was estimated with the use of data of the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology of the State Committee of Hydrometeorology and Russian Academy of Sciences. The data derived from measurements of 90Sr, 137Cs and 239+240Pu in soil samples taken in Bryansk, Kaluga, Oriol and Ryazan regions in 1992. The contribution of the condensation of 90Sr in the soil samples of the Chernobyl fallout in Russia was found to be governing factor when specific activity of 137Cs was > 2000 Bq/kg.

Title: Criteria for population protection and rehabilitation of the Russian territories long after the Chernobyl accident
Author: Balonov M.I., Anisimova L.I., Perminova G.S.
Reference: Radiation and Risk (Bulletin of the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry) Year: 1999 Issue: 11
Keywords: protection of the population, rehabilitation, Russia
Abstract: The paper outlines the history of development of criteria of radiation and social protection of the population of Russia living in the areas contaminated after the Chernobyl accident long after the accident. The trend for lowering the standards with time has been revealed and causes of this trend are analyzed. It is shown that the optimization principle has not been applied in an explicit form for protection of the population. The current and predicted radiation situation in the contaminated areas of Russia is described and the main pathways of internal and external exposure are identified. Possibilities available today to reduce population dose are discussed. Proposed are criteria and methods for population protection and rehabilitation of Russian territories.

Keywords: health effects, socio-economic impacts, environment, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine
Abstract: The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 was the most severe in the history of the nuclear power industry, causing a huge release of radionuclides over large areas of Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Now, 20 years later, UN Agencies and representatives of the three countries have reviewed the health, environmental and socio-economic consequences.

Title: Coming to Terms with the Soviet Myth of Heroism Twenty-five Years After the Chernobyl’ Nuclear Disaster: An Interpretation of Aleksandr Mindadze’s Existential Action Movie Innocent Saturday
Author: Johanna Lindbladh
Reference: The Anthropology of East Europe Review, Vol 30, No 1 (2012)
Keywords: Russia, Ukraine, Soviet Union, film, reception, Chernobyl’, nuclear accident, Mindadze, Innocent Saturday, myth of heroism, existentialism, Bakhtin, non-alibi in Being
Abstract: This essay presents an analysis of the Russian director Alexandr Mindadze’s feature film Innocent Saturday, released precisely 25 years after the Chernobyl’ accident in Ukraine. In a comparative study between the Russian-speaking and non-Russian-speaking reception of the film, I will show that the philosophical dimension, depicting Chernobyl’ not as a “great” historical, technological event, but in terms of how it affected peoples’ minds and feelings, constitutes the main theme in the Russian reception, but is more or less absent in the non-Russian-speaking reception. Building upon this divergence in reception, I will further explore the theme of Soviet heroism in a hermeneutical analysis of the film. My conclusions are that Mindadze, in depicting a hero who “does not escape”, points towards the existential impossibility of “escaping from your own self”, thus challenging not only the rules of an action movie, but also the Soviet myth of heroism, still a politically intense debate in the former Soviet Union.
