There is information about the business of professorial and teachers’ faculty of the Department of naval and radiation hygiene and the Department of General and Military hygiene S.M. Kirov’s Military-medical academy into a limitation of consequences the most enormous radiation emergency, which happened on 26 of April 1986, on Chernobyl nuclear power plant. A significant part of the participants in the liquidation of the accident were servicemen, the cause of that military-medical service took the direct part in the implementation of preventive measures. A set of activities for the health protection liquidators and residents of settlements, placed on the contaminated areas allowed to significantly reduce the radiation exposure from external and internal radiation. The basis for the prevention of both acute lesions and long-term consequences was the maximum permissible level of the planned emergency radiation of 25 Rem. The entire faculty of the Department of Naval and Radiation Hygiene and a number of employees of the Department of General and Military Hygiene, who on a rotational basis were continuously in the zone of work to eliminate the consequences of the accident, went through the mill of Chernobyl. Their personal contribution to the solution of urgent scientific and applied problems of minimization of radiation impact and preservation of the health of servicemen-liquidators of the accident were noted.

History Of

The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (Chernobyl nuclear power plant) on April 26, 1986, in terms of its scope and totality of consequences, is the largest nuclear disaster of our time, a nationwide disaster affecting the fate of millions of people living in vast territories. The Chernobyl disaster is one of the global in the history of human civilization. It is widely recognized that it entailed a variety of widespread social consequences and medical problems. The unprecedented nature of a nuclear accident is primarily associated with irradiation of the thyroid gland in many people, especially children, with radioactive iodine.

Important Basis

Samples of Chernobyl fuel debris, including massive corium and “lava” were collected inside the Chernobyl “Sarcophagus” or “Shelter” in 1990, transported to Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and stored under laboratory conditions for many years. In 2011 aged samples were visually re-examined and it was confirmed that most of them remained intact, although some evidence of self-destruction and chemical alteration were clearly observed. Selected samples of corium and “lava” were affected by static leaching at temperatures of 25, 90 and 150 °C in distilled water. A normalized Pu mass loss (NLPu) from corium samples after 140 days was noted to be 0.5 g/m2 at 25 °C and 1.1 g/m2 at 90 °C. For “lava” samples NLPu was 2.2–2.3 g/m2 at 90 °C for 140 days. The formation of secondary uranyl phases on the surface of corium and “lava” samples altered at 150 °C was confirmed. The results obtained are considered as an important basis for the simulation of fuel debris aging at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP).

Large Carnivores of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Exclusion Zone During nine years observations on large carnivores of Exclusion Zone have been carried out. Species composition and the number of large predators in the Exclusion Zone correspond to the regional conditions. The presence of bears and permanent stay of the lynx in the Exclusion Zone was confirmed. Six wolf packs were counted. The use of an anthropogenically transformed areas, the shift of the daily regime of activity and characteristics of the diet are the most specific features of this animal group.

We present results of airborne 14C emission measurements from the Paks PWR nuclear power plant. Long-term release of 14C in the form of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons were simultaneously measured. The results of internal gas-proportional and liquid scintillation counting agree well with theoretical assessments of 14C releases from pressurized water reactors. The mean value of the 14C concentration in discharged air is 130Bqm-3 and the normalized release is equal to 740GBq/GWe · yr. > 95% of 14C released is in the form of hydrocarbons, ca 4% is apportioned to CO2, and <1% to CO. Tree-ring measurements were also made and indicated a minute increase of 14C content in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant.
