The nuclear accident at the Chernobyl NPP caused radioactive contamination of large areas of agricultural lands in the Republic of Belarus; 265 thousand hectares of the lands were withdrawn from agricultural turnover. Later 75% of these lands were transferred to forestry enterprises and environmental protection organizations. According to ecological and economic assessments of the feasibility of returning the retiring land in the Mogilev region to full economic activity based on the outcomes of comprehensive inventory of 2014-2016 only 23% of the land areas could be re-stored. At the same time, due to the irreversible radioactive decay it is possible to assess future positive changes in radiological situation and the possibility of recovering of the land, previously recognized as radioactively dangerous, and returning into the agricultural use. The issues con-sidered in the article aim at the assessment of the future changes in the levels of radiation con-tamination of local areas and shows the prospects for their further arable and meadow use.

On the example of the Chernobyl NPP accident, the problems of animal husbandry in case of radioactive contamination of hayfields and pastures are shown. The factors determining the accumulation of radionuclides in milk and meat are presented. It is noted that the excess of radiological standards for the content of 137Cs in livestock products in the southwestern districts of the Bryansk region is long-term and requires continuation of rehabilitation work. A classification of countermeasures and technologies in animal husbandry carried out after the Chernobyl accident is given. It was shown that the most effective was the use of Cs-binding sorbents - hexacyanoferrates for lactating cows and fattening cattle. Farms in the southwestern districts of the Bryansk region have been identified, where until now there is a risk of exceeding the standards for the content of radionuclides in livestock products. For these farms, a scheme for the use of hexacyanoferrates was proposed depending on the levels of 137Cs contamination of grassland.

Industrial plants that want to be up to current Polish and European environmental protection requirements faced the need to conduct large-scale pro-ecological activities aimed at minimizing the risk of environmental pollution. One of such action is the remediation or reclamation (purification) of soils using different methods to restore the degraded lands to their usefulness.

Abstract Ukrainian uranium ore mining and milling facilities are located in the tight populated areas on the valuable agricultural lands of Ukraine. The almost 50th years’ activity of these enterprises has caused the radioactive contamination of the environment. The most dangerous facilities happened to be those ones which contaminate the entrails for a long time, namely: tailings which were discharged with the uranium ore uranium mill and former uranium in-situ leaching sites which are now decommissioned and left without relevant environmental protection measures. This paper considers two uranium facilities, which impact in a similar way on such an environmental entity as underground water: the tailings and in-situ leaching site located in Dnipropetrovsk region.
