Text:

The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was a catastrophic event in civil nuclear power that had an enormous impact on population and social progress in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Most of the radioactive materials were deposited close to the nuclear plant (the 30-km zone around the reactor), but the lighter material was carried by wind over Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and to some extent over Scandinavia and Europe. More than two thirds of the total radioactive fallout, the short-lived iodine-131 and the long-lived caesium-137, from the accident descended on nearly 25% of Belarus, mainly on the eastern and southeastern part of the country. According to the report ‘Chernobyl Accident 2018’ and ‘The United Nations and Chernobyl’, today large territories in Eastern Europe are still suffering the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. This impact is associated with the accumulation and consequent transformation of long-lived radionuclides in soils, plants, and biota.
