[en] The goal of this work is to evaluate different options of intervention for the recovery of contaminated environments. It will consider not only the efficiency of the countermeasures in terms of dose reduction, but also in terms of costs, wastes and other possible secondary consequences, in order to obtain the best possible strategy for each particular circumstance. This paper summarizes the methodology of optimization of intervention, which has been carried out in the framework of CEC-CHECIR ECP-4 Project

[en] In this brief report are consider the main problems of minimization of the consequences of the accident and management of actions provided at present in the Chernobyl zone at the territory of Ukraine in decade retrospect

[en] Luminescence techniques are being used with ceramic materials to provide evaluations of integrated external gamma dose for dose reconstruction in populated areas contaminated by Chernobyl fallout. A range of suitable ceramics can be found associated with buildings: on the exterior surfaces (tiles), within walls (bricks) and within the interiors (porcelain fittings and tiles). Dose evaluations obtained using such samples provide information concerning the time-averaged incident gamma radiation field, average shielding factors and, with the aid of computational modelling techniques, dose estimates at external reference positions

[en] The frequency and structure of hemoblastoses among Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster liquidators and the population of Belarus are studied. The nosology structure of morbidity are documented; the dependence of the latter on the location of a work place in the hazard zone and of the permanent place of inhabitancy are noticed. No excessive increase of liquidators morbidity levels as compared with the one of the whole population is discovered. However, a certain increase in the last years is determined

[en] The study of people's status in Belarus after the Chernobyl accident shows that independently from the place of residence they experienced a strong psychological distress which was caused by fears before the accident consequences. This paper gives the characteristics of fears influencing on the growth of the given phenomenon and proposals how to eliminate the same situations in the future

[en] The results of monitoring of radiation situation in the period 1986-1994 are presented together with the estimation of doses to the Czech population due to Chernobyl accident

[en] The method of the accumulated dose (AD) measured by electronic paramagnetic resonance spectre (EPR) of tooth enamel is the most effective way to reconstruct the accumulated dose for patients

[en] Those who elaborates the strategy of decontamination of vast territories is to take into consideration the heterogeneity of such elements of landscape as relief, lithology, humidity and types of soils and, vegetation, both on local and regional level. Geographic assistance includes evaluation of efficacy of decontamination technologies in different natural conditions, identification of areas of their effective application and definition of ecological damage, estimation of balances of the radionuclides in the landscapes to create background of the decontamination strategy

[en] Comparative data on the efficiency of industrial and domestic processing techniques of plant and animal products, which reduce radionuclides content foodstuffs, are summarized. Methods, which provide the greatest decrease of radionuclides content in the final products with minimum losses of nutritional value, were identified

[en] Diagnostic guidelines seem to be promising for improving medical care. One aspect of a diagnostic guideline for the acute radiation syndrome has been tested against an extensive case history database. Subsequently, the guideline has been optimized for a small set of case histories. The improved performance has been proven by a test against the rest of the case history database
