LEGACY AND LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT
Journal Title: International journal of ecosystems and ecology science (IJEES) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, by then USSR yet, took place almost thirty years ago, in the night of April 26th, 1986. The paper aims at summarizing the last findings about the health and environmental impact of the accident, at the light of the actual and recent data, more than three decades years after the event. The consequences of the release of around 85 PBq of Cs-137 and 1760 PBq of I-131, estimated by the GENII-FRAMEScode, sum up to a huge Collective Dose to European and Asian population of around 172.000 Svperson. Health effects of the Chernobyl accident are estimated to be around 10.000 total excess cancers.
