Modern technical and software-analytical tools for solving problems of radiation and technogenic-ecological safety of Ukraine

Abstract

Nuclear energy in Ukraine is provided by the operation of four operating nuclear power plants (15 reactors). For the next decades it is planned only to increase the capacity of this according to the “Energy Strategy of Ukraine until 2035” industry. Nuclear power plants are objects of increased danger. So, conditions should be provided to maintain environmental balance in Ukraine, innovative developments for radioactive waste management should be implemented, methods of wastewater treatment must be developed/improved, prevention and elimination of natural and emergency emergencies should be provided. It is important to create variety of scientific, technical and innovative developments to solve these problems. Their development is carried out by institutions and organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The study analyzes and summarizes activities of the State Institution “The Institute of Environmental Geochemistry of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine” on innovative developments to improve nuclear, radiation and technogenic environmental safety. The developments of the Institute are defined, described and systematized. The performed research was aimed to solve problems of sustainable development of nuclear energy, environmental problems of nuclear fuel cycle, handling of radioactive materials at all stages of their life cycle.

Innovative technologies for organizing a balanced development of the business ecosystem (in the example of agriculture in Ukraine)

“…The authors prove that, despite the various external problems that affect the adoption of a particular decision of each company, the inclusion of a transition strategy to a circular economy allows companies to provide environmental advantages in the competition. The relevance of finding ways to solve environmental problems is substantiated in [12,13], where the authors proposed a number of innovative solutions to solve this problem. At the same time, ensuring a balanced development of society requires taking into account not only environmental factors when building a model for further development [14].…”

Implementation of Novel Evolutional Algorithm for 3-Dimensional Radiation Mapping and Gamma-Field Reconstruction within the Chornobyl Sarcophagus

“…The procedure uses an experimentally derived Detector Response Function (DRF) to perform a randomized Kaczmarz deconvolution on radiation field measurements acquired to date via a robotic deployment platform [30]. A simultaneous use of mathematical data processing tools for radiation mapping is also ongoing at the Institute of Environmental Geochemistry at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine [31].…”
