There are still hundreds of people working on the plant and there is life in the town of Chernobyl as all Administrative buildings were relocated there after the fallout. In the beginning of June 2017 new hostel named ‘Polissia" opened its doors for visitors who want to stay here for ...

It has been shown that the main advantages of the Chernobyl-derived 137Cs are the short period of fallout, which means it can be treated as a single event, and the existence of a detailed map of the initial fallout for the majority of European countries. The latter facilitates collection ...
The video above and image below map the spread of radioactive fallout in Europe in the days following the explosion at the Chernobyl plant. (Segerstahl, 12) As shown above, the radioactive fallout of the Cherbobyl disaster affected the majority of the European continent. Wind and rainfall in...
On April 26, 1986, an explosion and fire at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused radioactive fallout that begin to spew into the atmosphere. Dozens of people were killed in the immediate aftermath of the disaster while the long-term death toll from radiation poisoning is believed...
The data obtained through a series of experiments were used to specify the correlation of activities of the fuel component radionuclides of Chernobyl fallout and to create the maps of the 30-km Chernobyl zone terrestrial density of contamination with 154Eu, 238Pu, 239+240Pu and 241Am (on 01.01...
Originally, I had planned to do a map of the radiation for the zone, but after getting the data back, I saw that the huge variances made graphing or mapping anything problematic. Because the hot spots were generally several thousand times higher than the surrounding area (and often-times ins...
