Radioecology and the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
Atomic Energy, 2006The ecological features of the 1986 Chernobyl accident and the principles of radiation monitoring of the environment are described. The laws of migration of radionuclides in different media in the environment and the accumulation of radioactive substances in food products are presented.

Cancer after nuclear fallout: lessons from the Chernobyl accident
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2002The Chernobyl accident exposed people located hundreds of kilometres away to fallout, but increases in cancer incidence as a result of the accident seem, at present, to be restricted to one tumour type. These thyroid tumours form the largest number of cancers of one type, caused by a single event on one date, ever recorded.

Thyroid consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear accident
Acta Paediatrica, 1999It is well recognized that the use of external irradiation of the head and neck to treat patients with various non‐thyroid disorders increases their risk of developing papillary thyroid carcinoma years after radiation exposure. An increased risk of thyroid cancer has also been reported in survivors of the atomic bombs in Japan, as well as in Marshall ...

Nuclear Accident at Chernobyl: Implications for Pediatricians
Pediatrics, 1986To the Editor.— The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor on April 26, 1986, was the worst nuclear accident of this sort to date. This accident and its implications raise great concern among many individuals and groups. As pediatrcians, we are anxious to place the issue of nuclear energy on the agendas of all health care ...

Consequences and Countermeasures in a Nuclear Power Accident: Chernobyl Experience
Biosecurity and Bioterrorism: Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science, 2012Despite the tragic accidents in Fukushima and Chernobyl, the nuclear power industry will continue to contribute to the production of electric energy worldwide until there are efficient and sustainable alternative sources of energy. The Chernobyl nuclear accident, which occurred 26 years ago in the former Soviet Union, released an immense amount of ...

The reactor accident at Chernobyl: A nuclear medicine practitioner's perspective
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1986The radiation incident at Chernobyl, USSR, on April 26, 1986 was first detected in Sweden on April 29, when increased radioactivity was observed at a nuclear facility in that country. Subsequently, higher levels of radioactivity were observed in most of Eastern Europe and then in Western Europe.

Chernobyl, the pathology of a nuclear accident
Cytopathology, 2007The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant took place more than 20 years ago, on April 26th 1986, but its effects are still being felt, and its consequences influence the debate on nuclear power generation. The consequences for those working to contain the accident resembled those after the atomic bomb, 28 died from acute radiation sickness, and

Soviet Medical Response to the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1987The nuclear accident at Chernobyl was the worst in the history of nuclear power. It tested the organized medical response to mass radiation casualties. This article reviews the Soviet response as reported at the 1986 postaccident review meeting in Vienna and as determined from interviews.

The nuclear reactor accident at Chernobyl, USSR
American Journal of Physics, 1987The sequence of events and the consequences of the nuclear reactor accident at Chernobyl, USSR in April 1986 are reviewed. The background material in nuclear reactor and nuclear explosion physics required for understanding these events is extensively explained, and the differences between U.S. and Chernobyl-type reactors are pointed out.

Conservation consequences of Chernobyl and other nuclear accidents
Biological Conservation, 2011Abstract The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on 26 April 1986 released vast amounts of radioactive material over an area of 200,000 km 2 in eastern and central Europe, affecting all living organisms. The biological impacts including the conservation consequences of this event are still poorly known even 25 years after the disaster ...
