Collation of Ukrainian/Russian/Belarussian publications on ecology and biodiversity in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Recipient: Chornoby Center for Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste and Radioecology (Ukraine) via UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology 

Knowledge of the ecology and biodiversity of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is of value when planning and interpreting radioecology studies. Being aware that there were    papers on this published in Russian or Ukrainian, or in some instances in English but in Ukrainian journals, the ALLIANCE funded a collation of papers and reports with titles and abstracts translated into English. Ukrainian/Russian/Belarussian publications

Paper: Radiocesium concentration ratios and radiation dose to wild rodents in Fukushima Prefecture 

Recipient: Donovan Anderson (Fukushima University). 

This paper https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2020.106457 was part funded by an ALLIANCE travel grant to lead author Donovan Anderson (Fukushima University).

Workshop to identify future research priorities for human foodchain modelling

Recipient: Ciemat, Spain

In September 2019, a joint workshop between the Radioecology ALLIANCE Human Foodchain Working Goup and the CONFIDENCE project was held in Madrid. The approximately 40 participants included representatives from regulatory bodies, industry, governmental agencies and the IAEA. The aim of the workshop was to identify future priorities for radioecological research with respect to the human food chain; discussions are summarised in Beresford et al. 2020.
