AbstractAbout the AuthorsReferences
In the recovery period after the accident the most pressing issue is the return of lands with high levels of radioactive contamination previously excluded from the lsnd use after the Chernobyl accident, into economic circulation. To solve this problem, a geographic information system on the current state of the agricultural lands the Bryansk region taken out of circulation after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been developed, based on information about the current state of the expropriated lands. The constructed electronic maps are the information basis for solving the problems of returning land to agricultural use and planning further actions to manage these territories, including the optimization of rehabilitation measures and the organization of a radioecological monitoring system for land put into circulation.
