Abstract: There have been a great amount and range of literature published about “Chernobyl”, from scientific ones to fiction. In this journal we should like to present the manifold of the literature. Nonetheless, we pay special attention to literarute concerning contamination of environment by radionuclides, such as migration of radionuclides, ecologic consequences of the accident etc.

Abstract: The area affected by the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident in 1986 has become a unique test site where long-term ecological and biological consequences of a drastic change in a range of environmental factors as well as trends and intensity of selection are studied in natural settings. The consequences of the Chernobyl accident for biota varied from an enhanced rate of mutagenesis to damage at the ecosystem level. The review comprehensively brings together key data of the long-term studies of biological effects in plants and animals inhabiting over 20 years the Chernobyl NPP zone. The severity of radiation effects was strongly dependent on the dose received in the early period after the accident. The most exposed phytocenoses and soil animals’ communities exhibited dose dependent alterations in the species composition and reduction in biological diversity. On the other hand, no decrease in numbers or taxonomic diversity of small mammals even in the most radioactive habitat was shown. In a majority of the studies, in both plant and animal populations from the Chernobyl zone, in the first years after the accident high increases in mutation rates were documented. In most cases the dose–effect relationships were nonlinear and the mutation rates per unit dose were higher at low doses and dose rates. In subsequent years a decline in the radiation background rate occurred faster than reduction in the mutation rate. Plant and animal populations have shown signs of adaptation to chronic exposure. In adaptation to the enhanced level of exposure an essential role of epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression regulation was shown. Based on the Chernobyl NPP accident studies, in the present review attempts were made to assess minimum doses at which ecological and biological effects were observed.

Abstract: The retrospective review of scientific investigations of the Belarus hydrosphere within the radioactively contaminated territories is presented for 1986-2005. The area under consideration occupies more than 35 000 km2 with contamination levels 37-1480 kBq/m2 for 137Cs and 22-111 kBq/m2 for 90Sr. Wide-range variations in average vertical velocity (0.11-2.66 cm/yr) and coefficient of quasidiffusion (0.01-1.4 cm2/yr) of radiocaesium migration in soils have been observed. A statistically significant tendency of decreasing with time the radionuclide migration parameters in automorphic soddy-podzolic soils within the over floodplain river terraces was revealed. The levels of groundwater contamination varied within 0.02-0.58 Bq/l for 137Cs and 0.02-0.18 Bq/l for 90Sr. The behavior of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs and 90Sr in hydrologically isolated bog systems within the catchment area of the Pripyat River as well as radionuclide pollution of the water fl ows of Dnieper, Pripyat, Sozh, Besed, Iput Rivers are considered. Dynamics of decreasing the average annual radionuclide activity concentrations and their variations during spring-autumn high water levels is demonstrated. Simplifi ed dynamic model for predicting the radionuclide activity concentrations in the river water following the large-scale radionuclide contamination is considered.
