Description

This paper provides examples of restoration approaches in Ukraine for contaminated sites of various nature and origin. Advantages and disadvantages of such approaches are also described. Forestation proved to be the most effective counter measure to bind radionuclides 'in situ' and prevent resuspension mechanics in the Chernobyl restricted zone. Another protective measure in this zone is the erection of dams to prevent contamination spreading floods. The restoration programme in living ores mainly include upper soil removal, demolition and removal of roofs, fences and wall plasters, asphalting, and transportation of secondary wastes to the wastes disposal site. Additional measures to reduce internal exposures include agrochemical measures and milk filtration. Such aspects are described in detail in this paper. A separate section deals with restoration of sites contaminated by uranium mining and milling activities. (author). 3 refs, 23 figs, 7 tabs
