SITUATION IN UKRAINE How the war in Ukraine has affected the radioecology field of research

Résumé

The presentation focuses on the profound impact of the war in Ukraine on the field of radioecology, particularly concerning the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). The conflict has caused significant disruptions, including restricted access to critical research sites, damage to infrastructures, and the halting of long-term studies essential for understanding chronic low-dose radiation effects. Military activities have also resulted in radionuclide redistribution, increased radiation levels, and secondary contamination due to intensified forest fires and explosions. These disruptions have invalidated previous environmental risk assessments and shifted research priorities toward addressing military-driven radiological risks and gaps in emergency response. The war highlights the need for enhanced resilience in monitoring systems, support for displaced researchers, and adaptive strategies to ensure the continuation of essential research. Initiatives like rebuilding research capacity, fostering international collaboration, and developing post-conflict environmental risk assessments are critical to addressing the long-term impacts on radioecology. This presentation aligns with ERPW 2024’s special session on Ukraine by addressing these challenges and proposing actionable strategies to mitigate the conflict’s effects on the scientific community.
