The specificity of production and processing of agricultural raw materials in the radioactively contaminated territory (by the example of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident)

Abstract

The article presents data on the specifics of production and processing of agricultural raw materials in a radioactively contaminated area. It is shown that in the remote period of development of the radio ecological situation after the Chernobyl accident, the total radiation dose of the population (95%) is still formed due to the consumption of crops in polluted territories. For this reason, in addition to economic feasibility, the technical specification for the production and processing of agricultural raw materials should clearly define environmental aspects, which include reducing the individual effective dose of radiation to the population by ensuring guaranteed radio ecological safety of agricultural products and raw materials, and collective - by reducing the consumption of radionuclide from the crop
