The massive release of radioactive material at the Chernobyl
accident in 1986 led to widespread radiation exposure, in
particular to people evacuated from the settlements near the
reactor and workers involved in the clean-up operations, and also
to several millons living in contaminated regions in Russia,
Belorus and Ukraine. This book provides current research on the
Chernobyl disaster. Chapter One provides a comparative analysis and
evaluation of different types of countermeasures implemented in the
aftermath of the accident at Chernobyl. Chapter Two discusses the
artistic treatment of Chernobyl where the problem of apophasia
arises. Chapter Three reviews the general tendencies of dynamics of
frequencies of congenital malformations in the territories polluted
by radioactive Chernobyl radionuclides. Chapter Four discusses the
impact of low doses of radiation. Chapter Five provides an overview
of the increase of non-cancer morbidity on the Chernobyl
radioactively contaminated territories. Chapter Six develops a
concept of premature aging development in liquidators in the remote
period after the Chernobyl disaster. Chapter Seven discusses the
long term consequences of atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons and
Chernobyl disaster on the territory of South Bohemia in Czech
Republic. Chapter Eight studies the stress adaptation of
microscopic fungi from around the Chernobyl atomic energy station.
Chapter Nine focuses on perspectives of nuclear safety. The final
chapter is a short commentary on the radiation and risk of
hematological malignancies in the Chernobyl clean-up workers.
