Principal
research directions of the institute:
- Complex of methodical
and
experimental
works
on
radiation
monitoring
the
agrobiocenoses,
including
radiation
monitoring
the
production
in
contaminated
territories,
and
recommendations
for
the
safe
and
rational
agriculture
in
conditions
of
the
radioactive
contamination;
- Behavior of the
Chernobyl
release
radionuclides in
the
Environment;
- Creation of the
databases
and
decision
support
systems
for
the
nuclear
accidents;
- Modeling the dynamics
and
bioavailability
of
radionuclides depending
on
the
physico-chemical forms
of
fallout
and
soil-climate
conditions;
- Regularities of the
radionuclides soil-to-plant transfer, prognosis of
the
agricultural
production
contamination,
development
and
implementation
of
the
measures
aimed
to
decrease
the
production
contamination;
- Influence on radioactivity
accumulation
in
the
agricultural
plants
of
various
types
and
doses
of
the
fertilizers
and
meliorants
and
of
their
combinations,
as
well
as
of
means
of
the
soil
treatment
and
technologies
of
application
of
chemicals;
- Development of systems
of
the
forage
production
in
conditions
of
contamination
of
the
natural
pastures
and
arable
lands
with
cesium-137 and
strontium-90;
- Assessment of efficiency
of
the
countermeasures
applied
in
agriculture
for
reduction
of
the
radionuclides transfer
into
production;
- Regularities of radionuclides migration
in
the
chain
"soil
- forage
- animal
organism
- stock-breeding
production";
- Stock-breeding
in
the
contaminated
territories;
- Development of means
for
the
rational
utilization
and
processing
the
agricultural
production;
- Radiation-hygienic
evaluation
of
the
working
conditions
and
development
of
the
recommendations
for
the
safe
scientific-research works
in
the
Exclusion
zone
and
agricultural
works
in
the
contaminated
territories;
- Rehabilitation of the
contaminated
areas,
scientific
support
of
the
measures
aimed
to
return
the
Exclusion
zone
in
the
economical
utilization.
