Ukrainian/Russian/Belarussian language publications

T​he ALLIANCE funded the Chornobyl Center for Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste and Radioecology (Slavutych, (Ukraine) to prepare a collation of papers for this website with titles and abstracts translated into English.                          

Knowledge of the ecology and biodiversity of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is of value when planning and interpreting radioecology studies.

Being aware that there were papers published in Ukrainian and Russianr, or in some instances in English but in Ukrainian journals, the ALLIANCE funded the Chornobyl Center For Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste And Radioecology (Slavutych, Ukraine) to prepare a collation of papers and reports for this website in collaboration with the iCLEAR project. Details of each publication are accessed via the links below; where necessary titles and abstracts have been translated into English and this information is provided together with links to any open access documents.
