The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) disaster that occurred in Ukraine on April 26, 1986, was one of the most devastating in human history. Using this as a case study, the AGU monograph Groundwater Vulnerability: Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster is devoted to the problem of groundwater vulnerability, where the results of long-term field and modeling investigations of radionuclide transport in soil and groundwater, within the Ukrainian part of the Dnieper River basin (Kyiv region of Ukraine), are discussed. The authors provide a comprehensive review of existing literature on the assessment of groundwater vulnerability and then describe an improved methodology, which is ... Read more

Volume highlights include discussions of the following:

  • Assessment of groundwater vulnerability to contamination from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
  • Novel analytical results of the 25-year investigations of groundwater contamination caused by Chernobyl-born radionuclides
  • The wealth of data on different modes of radioactive transport in the atmosphere, water, and soils, and along the food chains
  • The hydrogeological and physico-chemical processes and factors in groundwater contaminated zones
  • The applicability of commonly used methods of the evaluation of groundwater vulnerability
  • A unique method of fluid dynamics that involves an anomalously fast migration of contaminants through zones of preferential flow from the land surface toward groundwater
  • Building confidence in the assessment of migration pathways of radionuclides in the biosphere
  • Assessment and prediction of the consequences of the nuclear accident, which can shed light on protection from global nuclear accidents
  • Analogue information for different nuclear waste disposal and environmental projects around the world
