Abstract: A study of earthworm populations in the 30 km zone around the Chernobyl atomic power station was carried out in 1986–1988. Significant differences in earthworm population numbers were found between highly contaminated and control plots in summer and autumn 1986 and in April 1987. But in the autumn of 1988 the earthworm population numbers in contaminated plots were higher than in the control plots. The ratio of mature to immature specimens was higher in 1986 in the contaminated plots in comparison with the control plots. Only one species of earthworms, Dendrobaena octaedra, was found in contaminated forest plots during the first 2 yr following the accident but in the control forest plots Apporectodea caliginosa was also found.

Depth migration of chernobyl originated 137Cs and 90Sr in soils of Belarus

Abstract: Depth migration of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr was studied in soils of reference sites that have different environmental characteristics and are situated in all four radiogeochemical regions of Belarus. The parameters as used were: the fraction of the nuclide inventory below a depth of 2 cm; the fraction of the nuclide inventory below a depth of 5 cm; and the thickness of the top soil layer containing 90% of the nuclide inventory.

External γ-dose rates delivered from the Chernobyl fallout in Belarus

Abstract: The γ-dose rates in air were measured in time at various reference sites which had different environmental characteristics. It appears that the dose rate had fallen off from its peak value and more or less stabilized by the end of 1990. The model presented describes this behaviour and fits the experimental data well. All the study sites are subdivided into four groups according to the dose-decrease time constants which range between 2.9 and 7.1 years. Causes of such different temporal decreases at various sites are discussed. Dose commitment conversion factors were computed which allow estimation of external dose commitments at every site for various time periods. The findings may be applicable to other sites in Belarus with similar climate and landscape characteristics.
