Keywords: Prypiat,Ukraine, Fukushima, evacuees

Abstract: This research note is a memorandum for our interviews with those who lived in Prypiat city near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The inhabitants in Prypiat had to be evacuated to other places due to the nuclear accidents in April, 1986. We conducted the interviews with them in order to examine one of several aspects of the socioeconomic and psychological sufferings they endured. The results of our survey show that there are some remarkable damages such as loss of property and home; disintegration of labor ability, places of education and community.

An Illustrated Guide to the Post-catastrophe Future

Title: An Illustrated Guide to the Post-catastrophe Future

Author: Sarah D. Phillips, Sarah Ostaszewski

Reference: The Anthropology of East Europe Review, Vol 30, No 1 (2012)

Keywords: Chernobyl, Pripyat, tourism, revitalization, satire, visual anthropology, Ukraine

Abstract: This article is a satirical consideration of real and hypothetical projects to “revitalize” parts of the 30 kilometer zone of alienation around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. This tongue-in-cheek treatment reveals that projects for “redevelopment” and “exploitation” of the contaminated zone are about many things: money, ideology, memory, fantasy, safety, power, ethics, and the value of life itself.

The mobility of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs in a peatbog system within the catchment of the Pripyat River, Belarus

• Title: The mobility of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs in a peatbog system within the catchment of the Pripyat River, Belarus

Author: A Kudelsky, Jim Smith, S Ovsiannikova and J Hilton

Reference: Elsevier, 1996

doi: 10.1016/0048-9697  

Keywords: Pripyat,River,Soil, Belarus,137Cs

Abstract: The behaviour of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs in a hydrologically isolated bog system in the catchment of the Pripyat river in Belarus was investigated. Measurements were made of 137Cs activities in the solids and pore waters of the bog soils, as well as the variability in activity in water draining from the bog. It was found that the radiocaesium activity of the pore water, and hence the measured distribution coefficient, Kd, was dependent upon the pressure at which the water was removed from the soil.

“Blind” testing of models for predicting the 90Sr activity concentration in river systems using post-Chernobyl monitoring data

• Title: “Blind” testing of models for predicting the 90Sr activity concentration in river systems using post-Chernobyl monitoring data

Author: Sasina, N. V.; Smith, J. T.; Kudelsky, A. V.; Wright, S. M.

Reference: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 92 (2). 63-71.

doi: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2006.09.007

Keywords: 90Sr, Model, Chernobyl, River, Pripyat, Weapons testing, Catchment, Runoff

Abstract: Two different models for predicting the time-dependent mobility of 90Sr in river systems have been evaluated using post-Chernobyl monitoring data for five large Belarusian rivers (Dnieper, Pripyat, Sozh, Besed and Iput) in the period between 1990 and 2004. The results of model predictions are shown to be in good agreement (within a factor of 5) with the measurements of 90Sr activity concentration in river waters over a long period of time after the accident.
