IAEA continued cooperation with NULES

July 19, 2015

     International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine continued for another year the action of a scientific-research agreement «Environmental Behavior and Biological Impact of Chernobyl Radioactive Particles». It is performed under IAEA Coordinated Research Project 'Environmental Behavior and Potential Biological Impact of Radioactive Particles'.

 

     Together with the University scientists in the project, which is entirely funded by the IAEA, the leading scientists from Norway, Australia, Austria, USA, England, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Russia take part.

     The program of Ukrainian scientists, who have been engaged in it for already two years, includes three significant positions. First - continued sampling of soil and plants to assess the long-term dynamics of the plant contamination on fuel traces of radioactive attacks.

     The second is the continuation of the experiment on modeling the dissolution of fuel particles in drained sediments of the cooling pond of the Chernobyl NPP.

 


     And the third - monitoring of fuel particles dissolution on reclaimed areas of the ChNPP cooling pond after the start of lowering the water level in the autumn of 2014.
