	Head of laboratory  of nuclear-physics methods of analysis and radiochemistry Candidate of Biology Svjatoslav Levchuk (38044) 526-24-44 slavalevchuk64@gmail.com Principal research directions :
*	Physical and chemical characteristics of the radioactive fallout
*	Radionuclides migration in the Environment
*	Evaluation of the Environmental impacts of the nuclear fuel cycle enterprises
*	Reconstruction of conditions of the ChNPP accident
*	Radiological monitoring the agricultural production
*	Mapping the 30-km ChNPP zone territory contamination with radionuclides of strontium and TUE
