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. …

Abstract: This paper discusses results of the analysis of cancer incidence during 11 years of follow-up (1991–2001) for Chernobyl emergency workers residing in Russia and thyroid cancer incidence among persons living in the Bryansk oblast and exposed as children (0–17 years). The analysis for emergency workers was based on using data about the cohort of emergency workers (males) including 55,718 persons with documented external doses who worked in the 30-km zone in 1986–1987. The mean age at exposure for these persons was 34.8 years and the mean external radiation dose was 0.13 Gy. In the cohort 1370 cases of solid cancer were diagnosed….
