This paper postulates that public perception of the effects of radiation is the root cause that, directly or indirectly, has negative effects on the acceptance of these activities.* The word public in this case means a wide spectrum of the population: from traditional housewives to the highest ...
Health effects from the Chernobyl disaster remain unclear, apart from the initial 30 people the Soviet government confirmed killed from the explosions and acute radiation exposure. No official government studies were conducted following the explosion to assess its effects on workers, the liquidators and ...
"These results demonstrate for the first time that, regardless of potential radiation effects on individual animals, the Chernobyl exclusion zone supports an abundant mammal community after nearly three decades of chronic radiation exposures," the researchers wrote in the Current Biology study. Bisons a...
A: There are many measurement units related to radiation, all a little different in their definition. Although it might seem a little overwhelming at first, you may learn about them here. Most people are interested in its effect on humans, the radiation dose or the dose rate. The exposure ...
It’s hard for most people to see any silver lining in a nuclear disaster. However, while you’d never be able to subject animals or humans to these levels of radiation in a designed experiment, you can study the effects of the animals here and compare them to those outside the zone....
I have not captioned the pictures. They more or less speak for themselves. Most of them were taken in Pripyat, the abandoned city inside the Exclusion Zone that was once home to 50,000 people. The entire population of Pripyat was forced to flee, leaving everything behind. It exists as a...
adds to the entire gimmick of the place being brutally harsh to humans. Then of course having headlamp 'helmet' items to replace the hand held flashlight and helmets with upgrades to enable built in flashlights would top it all off. The handheld flashlight would gate a lot of the mid-teir...
Lunch in Pripyat served on our Chernobyl tour Animals in Chernobyl are thriving without humans One of the most bittersweet aspects of Chernobyl is that where people have long gone, animals have returned in abundance. The Chernobyl exclusion zone is now rich with fauna including European bison, wo...
