Radioactive and chemical contamination of groundwater and surface water (Konoplyanka and Dnipro Rivers) in the zone of influence of the soviet era uranium production legacy site - Prydniprovsky Chemical Plant (PChP, Kamianske) is a source of radiological and toxicological risks for the population. Modeled water use scenarios included drinking water consumption, crop irrigation, fishing, and usage of the river beaches for recreation. According to the assessment results, the radiological risks of water usage in current conditions are low. At the same time, a conservative assessment indicates potential future toxicological risks from uranium (use of groundwater for drinking) and from manganese (due to accumulation in river fish). In the long term, risks from groundwater may increase significantly due to the dispersion of contaminated groundwater plumes outside the industrial site, or due to unrestricted access of the population to the territory of the PChP. To reduce uncertainty in the risk assessment results, it is important to improve the groundwater monitoring network downstream from the PChP site and to collect site-specific data on manganese transfer coefficients to fish.

In this work, four waste paper composites were studied in terms of several photon interaction parameters over the energy region from 0.015 to 15.0 MeV. The waste paper and natural rubber (WP/NR) composites of different densities ranging from ρ = 0.894 to 1.16 gm⋅cm-3 were used for shielding radioactive rubble at different time period stages. Some additives were also used including high-abrasion furnace black, paraffin wax, B4C, as well as magnetite. The deduced parameters of photon interaction: equivalent atomic number Zeq, exposure buildup factor and energy absorption buildup factor have been studied as a function of incident photon energy, WP/NR elemental composition, and for penetration depths, up to 40 mean free path. The Zeq numbers have shown slight variation over the selected incident energy range and buildup factors were found to be modest at low and high photon energy meanwhile their values increase widely over the intermediate energy region. In addition, kerma relative to air for photon energies from 1 to 20 MeV were computed and show dependence upon equivalent atomic numbers. In this work, it was clear that filled samples offer better shielding capabilities than unfilled ones. The obtained data could be useful for radiation physicists and scientists in estimating the γ-irradiation received after applying such shields.

A comparative analysis of calculations for the 12С(10В,10В)12С elastic scattering at Еlab(10B) = 41.3 MeV, the 12С(11В,11В)12С elastic scattering at Еlab(11B) = 40.0 MeV, transfer reactions 13С(11В,12С)12В and 14С(11В,12С)13В at Еlab(11B) = 45.0 МеВ was performed within the coupled-reaction-channels method (CRC) using previously deduced Woods-Saxon potentials for the interaction of 10,11,12,13В + 12С nuclei in the exit reaction channels, as well as potentials for these systems of nuclei generated by means of the double-folding method using theoretically modeled shapes for the distributions of protons and neutrons in 10,11,12,13В and 12С. The relationship of isotopic effects (differences of the calculated CRC cross sections when replacing the potential for a given pair of nuclei by interaction potential for one nucleus with the isotope of another nucleus) with the internal structure, e.g. the shapes of nucleon density distributions in the interacting nuclei, is investigated. The shapes (radial dependence) of recently deduced Woods-Saxon potentials and potentials calculated by means of the double-folding methods for the systems of 10,11,12,13В + 12С nuclei are compared. Based on the results of the analysis of experimental data, an assumption is made about the possible differences in the shapes of surface nucleon density distributions from the ones modeled theoretically in 10,11B isotopes.

The γ-spectra were measured of the structural materials of the 2nd unit of the Chornobyl NPP which were irradiated by bremsstrahlung with end-point energy 37 MeV. Using the ratio of the 57Co and 58Co activities, the nickel and cobalt masses ratio was determined. Using the obtained data and the measured 60Co activity in the studied samples, a method for determining of the 63Ni activity was developed. Radiochemical validation of the created method was performed and good quantitative agreement of 63Ni activities obtained by spectroscopic and radiochemical methods was obtained.

New experimental data of angular distributions for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 15N ions by 10B nuclei were obtained at the energy Elab(15N) = 81 MeV. The experimental data were analyzed within the coupled-reaction channels method (CRC). The Woods - Saxon optical potentials were used for nuclei interactions in the calculations. The potential's parameters for the interaction of 15N + 10В nuclei were deduced as well as it was measured the angular distribution of the elastic scattering for these nuclei. The experimental data of the 15N + 10В elastic scattering are compared with data of the 15N + 11В and 14N + 10В scatterings. It was discovered isotopic effects in the scatterings of these three nuclear couples due to the difference in the optical potentials of the interaction of these nuclei and their structure. New experimental data of inelastic scattering of 15N + 10В nuclei for 0.718 - 3.587 МеV states of 10В nucleus and for 5.270 - 6.324 МеV states of 15N nucleus were measured. These data were analyzed within the CRC method using the translation-invariant shell model for collective excitations of 15N and 10B nuclei. Information about deformations of these nuclei was obtained.

The radiological zoning of Chornobyl contaminated areas was one of the essential elements of social and radiation protection. The zoning was based on estimates of annual committed effective doses to members of the public and on the levels of radionuclide deposition density. In 1991, 86 settlements were classified as associated with the zone of unconditional (mandatory) resettlement, and 841 settlements were assigned to the zone of guaranteed voluntary resettlement. The status of these settlements has been preserved until now. The assessments showed that as of 2022, for all settlements located outside the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone the radiological conditions do not exceed the current legislative criteria for inclusion in the zone of unconditional (mandatory) resettlement. It is also shown that in 2022, the zone of guaranteed voluntary resettlement can be assigned for: only 38 settlements, according to the legislative criterion "90Sr density of contamination" and only 17 settlements, according to the legislative criterion "137Cs density of contamination". The work also indicates and analyses the provisions of current legislation that require clarification.

Among the most pressing threats to the existence of forest plant complexes of the nature reserve fund is the pyrogenic danger, which is exacerbated by changes in the natural hydrolytic regime and global climate change, the driving effects of which are currently difficult to fully assess. The article highlights the results of a study of the forest plant complexes and soil state of the nature reserve "Drevlyanskyi" in Zhytomyr region after the fires. The results of the field survey of plantations, agrochemical and radiological analysis of soil indicators are presented. Studies show a change in the composition of forest plant complexes, a reduction in the number of herbaceous species, and a decrease in the area of moss and lichen cover. The surveyed area is characterized by significant spatial heterogeneity of the main agrochemical and physicochemical parameters of the soil. There was a slight increase in the content of heavy metals in the soil, however, the indicators did not exceed the maximum allowable concentrations in these areas. To assess the radiation situation after fires on the territory of the nature reserve, the indicators of the density of soil pollution with 137Cs and 90Sr were determined. The authors recommended a set of measures to improve the efficiency of nature reserves. Adherence to the recommendations will help to increase the environmental sustainability of forest plant complexes and will minimize the occurrence of fires and their consequences.

The new analysis of inclusive proton spectra from 3H(α,p)6He reaction was performed. The existence of two new excited levels of 6He with energy parameters E2ex.s.*= 2.4 MeV, Γ = 0.4 MeV; E3ex.s.*= 3.0 MeV, Γ = 0.6 MeV was confirmed as a result of new parameterization performed using energy parameters obtained from the correlation kinematic-incomplete experimental study of 3H(α,pα)nn reactions at Eα = 27.2 MeV and Eα = 67.2 MeV in contrast to the initial analysis, in which the resonance observed above the known first excited 6He level E1ex.s. = 1.8 MeV was treated as the second broad excited level E2ex.s. = 2.98 (0.17) MeV, Γ2ex.s. = 2.39 (0.27) MeV.
