Title: Methodological principles for the establishment of a regional system for the environmental monitoring of radiation-affected territories of Bryansk’s Polesia and the population being affected by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

Author: Tcelousov Anatoli Gennadyevich

Reference: Bryansk, 1997

Keywords: radiation-ecological monitoring, Polessie/ Polesia, Bryansk

Abstract: [Findings; 1. Formation of external and internal doses of exposure of the citizens living in the contaminated areas is dependent on radio-ecological characteristics of places of settlement.
2. External radiation dose depends on length of stay and mode of behavior in the contaminated areas. One of the critical population groups that is exposed to a greatest external radiation, are people working in the open air, especially forestry workers, who live in wooden houses…]

Abstract: In the spring of 1986, the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear explosion left a substantial portion of the forested area of the Ukrainian Polissya region contaminated with radioactive fallout.  Although less than 14.5% of Ukraine is forested, nearly one-quarter (24.2%) of its woodlands (appox.2,371,600 ha) are located in the Polissya region.

GIS-based methodology for Chernobyl contaminated land management through biomass conversion into energy—a case study for Polessie, Ukraine

• Title: GIS-based methodology for Chernobyl contaminated land management through biomass conversion into energy—a case study for Polessie, Ukraine

Author: Goor, F. / Davydchuk, V. / Vandenhove, H.

Reference: Biomass and Bioenergy, 25 (4), p.409-421, Oct 2003

doi: 10.1016/S0961-9534(03)00034-5

Keywords: Chernobyl; Radiocaesium; Biomass; Renewable energy; Short rotation coppice; Geographic information system (GIS)

Abstract: The district of Polessie was chosen to illustrate a methodology aiming to assess the type, extent and distribution of the existing and potential biomass resources in the rural areas contaminated by Chernobyl fallout in Ukraine. Three biomass systems were envisaged: forestry, short rotation coppice (SRC) and perennial grasses.
