Abstract
Now the Republic of Belarus has a modern system of radiation monitoring of the environment, which is based on innovative technologies, including information technologies. The Republic of Belarus has good practices in organizing radiation monitoring of the environment after the accident at the Chernobyl NPP. Between 1986 and 2017, over 630,000 soil samples were measured for radionuclide contamination, including cesium-137. With the use of GIS technologies maps of radioactive contamination of the territory of Belarus with cesium-137, strontium-90, isotopes of plutonium and americium-241 have been created. New methodical approaches to the formation of a radiation monitoring system were developed in case of new threats to radiation safety, for example, the construction of nuclear power plants. Based on the experience of studying the behavior of radionuclides, an integrated biospheric approach to the organization of radiation monitoring of the environment is developed.
Highlights
Radioactive contamination is one of the most dangerous types of environmental contamination, both in terms of the negative impact on public health, and in terms of the subsequent inclusion of artificial radionuclides in biogeochemical natural cycles and their subsequent long-term effects on the elements of the biosphere. in the Republic of Belarus there is a complicated radioecological situation, which is caused by global radioactive contamination due to nuclear tests of the environment and the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster
