Comparison of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents: A review of the environmental impacts
Science of The Total Environment, 2014The environmental impacts of the nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima are compared. In almost every respect, the consequences of the Chernobyl accident clearly exceeded those of the Fukushima accident. In both accidents, most of the radioactivity released was due to volatile radionuclides (noble gases, iodine, cesium, tellurium).

Genetic implications and health consequences following the Chernobyl nuclear accident
Clinical Genetics, 2010Kozenko M, Chudley AE. Genetic implications and health consequences following the Chernobyl nuclear accident.It has been almost 25 years since the Chernobyl nuclear accident in Ukraine. We review relevant data derived from published reports originating in the Former Soviet Union. We cite census data from Ukraine and research studies from Western Europe

Adolescents' response to nuclear threat: Before and after the chernobyl accident
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1991This study investigated adolescent responses to nuclear threat during intervals preceding and following the Chernobyl disaster. The Nuclear Threat Index was administered to 96 Israeli subjects two months prior to and two months following the disaster. In addition, they were tested with Rotter's Locus of Control Scale.

On the Reactivity Effects of Nuclear Fuel Fragmentation with Reference to the Chernobyl Accident
Nuclear Science and Engineering, 1989The reactivity effects caused by fragmentation of nuclear fuel and by simultaneous cooling of the fragments are described. A series of light water reactor (LWR) cases and three speculative scenarios for the Chernobyl accident are considered. Calculations were carried out with the LWR cell burnup code CASMO-HEX.Fragmentation is described by increasing ...

The Chernobyl Nuclear Accident and Identity Strategies in Belarus
2013The collapse of the Soviet Union coincided with, and was partly precipitated by, the public revelation of the true scale of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. In the late 1980s, the authorities of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic had to manage the impact of the substantial radioactive contamination of the republic’s territory along with the strong

[Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident and Tokaimura criticality accident].
Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2012It is clear from inspection of historical incidents that the scale of disasters in a nuclear power plant accident is quite low level overwhelmingly compared with a nuclear explosion in nuclear war. Two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by nuclear blast with about 20 kt TNT equivalent and then approximately 100,000 people have died ...

Consequences of the nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl.
Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974), 1991The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident, in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR), on April 26, 1986, was the first major nuclear power plant accident that resulted in a large-scale fire and subsequent explosions, immediate and delayed deaths of plant operators and emergency service workers, and the radioactive contamination of a significant

[The results of cytogenetic survey in liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear accident].
Meditsina truda i promyshlennaia ekologiia, 2000The article represents results of long cytogenetic survey among liquidators of Chernobyl accident. The parameters studied are frequency of unstable chromosomal aberrations and frequency of symmetrical translocations. The authors show that, in spite of long term after irradiation, average frequency of cells with dicentrics and centric fusions (unstable ...
