Chernobyl


The accident at the Chernobyl NPP on 26 April 1986 is the greatest technogenic catastrophe of a world scale in the 20th century. Investigation of its consequences is of an interdisciplinary character and deals with interests of scientists, physicians, politicians, decision-makers, etc. Department of Scientific Information and Informatics has created the interdisciplinary information bank “Post-Chernobyl Effects in Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine” as a base of two projects: 1) Interdisciplinary Information Database “CHEDIBASE” and 2) Interdisciplinary Bulletin of Chernobyl Information “Chernobyl Digest”.

Chernobyl Digest’98-2000. Issue 6. – Minsk, 2001:

"Ukrainian scientists have proceeded extensive investigations of 137Cs- and 90Sr transfer from drug raw material into alcoholic preparations (Yu. Gubin, O. Dzyubak, S. Dzyubak, et al., 1999; Orlov, Krasnov, Prishchepa et al., 2000). In particular, this group of researches has proved that for all the types of medicinal raw material the degree of 137Cs extraction into drug form depends on alcohol concentration in solvent. It was concluded that there is the possibility of working out technologies at which the transfer of useful active substances into medicine remains acceptable and that of radionuclides — drops sharply".

"Ukrainian scientists (Yu. Gubin, O. Dzyubak, S. Dzyubak, et al., 1999) have also pointed to the necessity for working out state standards for the technogenous radionuclide content in prepared pharmacologic drugs ".
