Creators

Description

The main part of the European territory of the former USSR contaminated after the Chernobyl accident belongs to Byelorussia. Twenty-three percent of its territory has been contaminated above 87.0 kBq/sq.m. Measurements undertaken have shown that the density of radioactive contamination is very different, the compositions of radionuclides and isotopes also differ in various contaminated regions. The protective measures taken in the republic were not sufficient, adequate and done in time due to several reasons. The paper describes some effects of the Chernobyl accident on economic, health and social situation in the republic. The experience in protective actions got in the five years after the accident in agricultural, industrial and social activities allow to formulate some results and conclusions on the post-accident situation in the republic.
