Improvement of practical countermeasures: the agricultural environment post-Chernobyl action

Abstract

The contamination of the rural areas near the site of the accident at Chernobyl has posed problems of reclamation from which the Community could learn. The objective of the project has been to assess the usefulness of applied and existing techniques and to develop new procedures of decontamination. To reduce transfer of radioactivity, the main classes of countermeasures envisaged are: - treatment of vegetative cover present at the time of the accident; - chemical treatment of soil; - mechanical treatment of soil; - alternatives to in situ vegetation and soil treatment: - change of crops; - crop management; - food processing.
