Wildfires in the Chornobyl exclusion zone—Risks and consequences [PDF]
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2021 Abstract Following the 1986 Chornobyl accident, an area approaching 5000 km2 surrounding the nuclear plant was abandoned, creating the Chornobyl exclusion zone (CEZ). Although this area likely contains the most radioactive terrestrial ecosystem on earth, the absence of humans and associated activities for nearly 35 years since the ...
