[00:00:00] soil, which is already used for growing planting
[00:00:02] material, for carrying out measures for
[00:00:06] afforestation and reforestation,
[00:00:08] annually the reserve creates just over 300 hectares of forest
[00:00:12] cultures, throughout the
[00:00:15] post-Chernobyl period, about 12 thousand
[00:00:18] hectares have been created, which undoubtedly has a positive effect
[00:00:22] on, say, retaining radionuclides in the event of
[00:00:25] some emergency
[00:00:26] situations.
[00:00:30] Fires in the Reserve have their own specifics,
[00:00:34] since when burning
[00:00:37] forest flammable materials, the activity
[00:00:40] of radionuclides is already involved. Volumetric activity, it decreases by
[00:00:44] 100 times per 1 km of forest-covered area,
[00:00:47] this indicates that the higher the forest cover of this territory,
[00:00:51] the minimal transfer of radionuclides over long
[00:00:54] distances.
[00:00:56] To eliminate radioactive forest trophic fires. On the
[00:01:00] territory of the Reserve, three fire-chemical
[00:01:02] stations have been created, two stations of the second type and one station
[00:01:06] of the first type. The first type
[00:01:09] implies maximum completeness
[00:01:11] the ability to eliminate not only fires that occur in the forest
[00:01:15] fund, but fires that are associated with the facilities
[00:01:19] of Babchina, where the infrastructure of the reserve is located.
[00:01:23] Okhonnitsky section. Approximately 64
[00:01:27] people work at the fire-chemical stations. who on
[00:01:30] a permanent basis monitor
[00:01:33] fires, assess fires in the forest
[00:01:36] fund. The fund of the reserve is quite large, it is about
[00:01:40] 217,000 hectares, within this
[00:01:44] territory a specialized network of observation towers
[00:01:46] has been organized, which are used
[00:01:49] for triangulation methods for determining forest
[00:01:52] fires. In particular, dangerous for the territory
[00:01:56] of the reserve, trophic fires, because...
[00:02:00] swamps, the reserve, they
[00:02:02] are a depot of radionuclides, starting from ninety-two
[00:02:06] year, we implement
[00:02:09] a list of measures for
[00:02:12] ecological rehabilitation of disturbed peatlands, that is, for their
[00:02:15] flooding, this work has been going on continuously since the organization
[00:02:19] of the reserve, we carried out the last work in
[00:02:23] 23, where we flooded about
[00:02:26] 6.00 hectares, this is a positive role in...
[00:04:06] a memorandum of understanding, it will become an inter-parliamentary bridge
[00:04:09] that will connect Belarus with the Arab world in the
[00:04:13] trade and economic sphere, in education and medicine.
[00:04:16] Belarus is working on a large-scale project to supply Mozambique with
[00:04:20] 4,000 units of agricultural equipment, including 1.
[00:04:23] tractors, a country with almost forty million population and access to the Indian
[00:04:27] Ocean. Extremely interested in Belarusian technologies. Mozambique needs
[00:04:30] support in security issues and combating various forms
[00:04:34] of organized crime and in this we can help, both
[00:04:37] with training specialists and with training in technologies for working
[00:04:41] with drones, anti-drone systems, radar
[00:04:44] complexes. The metallurgical industry plays one of the key roles in the development
[00:04:47] of the Belarusian economy. It forms a strong basis for the industrial
[00:04:51] complex, ensures uninterrupted operation of almost all
[00:04:54] sectors of the national economy. The largest producer is
[00:04:57] the metallurgical plant in Zhlobin, analytics. expert
[00:05:00] comments, review of socio-economic
[00:05:03] news, exclusive interview, watch
[00:05:06] the program Events on Fridays on the TV channel
[00:05:10] Belarus24.
[00:05:28] undoubtedly, the traditional situation for a number
[00:05:31] of isotopes is improving, for example, for such
[00:05:34] elements as 137 cesium and 1290
[00:05:38] it has improved, that is, we currently have for the first element - this is
[00:05:42] about: 58% for the second
[00:05:44] about 62 already due to natural decay, the
[00:05:48] activity has decreased, also the situation is improving for
[00:05:51] 241 isotope plutonium, that is, its decay
[00:05:54] is about 84%.
[00:05:57] but considering that today the radiation situation
[00:06:01] is also formed by such isotopes as
[00:06:04] 239, 238, 240
[00:06:07] isotopes of plutonium, as well as 241 and
[00:06:10] americum isotopes, they
[00:08:43] scientific activity is associated with the implementation
[00:08:46] of five-year programs, we are already
[00:08:49] implementing the eighth program, each program consists
[00:08:52] of two blocks, a block of routine monitoring, which we conduct for
[00:08:56] forest ecosystems, we also conduct a block
[00:08:59] of monitoring for changes in the meteorological situation,
[00:09:02] changes in the migration ability of radionuclides in
[00:09:05] the soil, this is such a long-term monitoring, which has been carried out for
[00:09:09] some issues since 1987.
[00:09:12] if we take the department of ecology of plant complexes,
[00:09:16] all natural science work is built on the study of plant
[00:09:19] ecosystems, plant communities, this
[00:09:23] is all related to monitoring the behavior
[00:09:25] of radionuclides and their transition to plant organisms,
[00:09:29] also a separate block is assigned to the issue
[00:09:33] of biological diversity, the work of the
[00:09:37] department of fauna ecology is based on the same principle, that is, a block of radioecological
[00:09:40] studies -
[00:09:43] assessment of dose loads on biota, this is
[00:09:46] assessment of accumulation in animal
[00:09:49] tissues, this is a block on biological
[00:09:52] diversity,
[00:09:59] here are presented to a greater extent scientific
[00:10:02] samples, this is primarily soil,
[00:10:05] and biological samples that were collected -
[00:10:09] directly from vegetation. These
[00:10:13] samples undergo the final stage
[00:10:16] of sample preparation for further
[00:10:19] determination by spectrometric or radiochemical
[00:10:22] method of the content of radionuclides. Cesium
[00:10:26] 1379 isotope in plutonium and
[00:10:29] 241
[00:10:30] Americium.
[00:10:37] The laboratory of spectrometry and radiochemistry, its
[00:10:40] activity is primarily associated with the assessment
[00:10:43] of the content in environmental objects.
[00:10:47] We carry out this work on a permanent basis, depending on the
[00:10:50] year, from 3 to 800 samples pass through
[00:10:54] this unit,
[00:10:58] at the current moment we are determining the specific activity of 137
[00:11:02] cesium in commercial timber,
[00:11:05] as a result of spectrometric analysis in this sample, a value
[00:11:09] of 235
[00:11:11] per kilogram was registered, which corresponds to the republican permissible levels and
[00:11:15] allows this timber to be used for its intended
[00:11:17] purpose.
[00:11:25] The very idea of involving these lands or somehow compensating
[00:11:28] costs, it stood at the very beginning of the formation
[00:11:31] of the organization. However, in all
[00:11:34] decisions that determined the development of activities, there is undoubtedly
[00:11:38] a traditional factor. That is, we are talking about those types of activities
[00:11:42] that are experimental economic, which have taken root and
[00:11:45] give some associated result, well, it cannot be said that it is key for
[00:11:49] the organization, but nevertheless, that is, the task of these types
[00:11:53] of activities, it was
[00:11:55] to obtain results, including scientific support for them, which can be applied to
[00:11:59] conditionally clean territories where people live,
[00:12:02] wood comes to us from logging, from
[00:12:05] an experimental farm, it goes to
[00:12:08] the shop, with all the relevant
[00:12:11] RD, all the requirements are met by us, some timber
[00:12:14] goes to our sawmill, where it is sawn into sawn timber,
[00:12:18] unedged timber, lumber, some part of the timber goes to
[00:12:21] the carpentry shop for... forest industrial complexes, but nevertheless
[00:12:55] this allows not to leave the
[00:12:58] question of forest maturity
[00:13:01] unaccounted for, plus in works with
[00:13:04] multi-operational machines, which we have been importing in recent years,
[00:13:07] well, that is, the level of mechanization is being increased, which undoubtedly
[00:13:11] positively affects the dose loads of personnel
[00:13:14] performing this
[00:13:16] work.
[00:13:26] if we take, for example, beekeeping, then the issues of, for example,
[00:13:30] transfer coefficients into vegetation,
[00:13:34] these are transfer coefficients into apiary products,
[00:13:37] honey, these are the density
[00:13:40] of contamination and what types, different radionuclides, at which it is possible to obtain
[00:13:44] normatively clean products, that is, these aspects are taken into account to a greater
[00:13:47] extent at the moment, on the territory of the Reserve,
[00:13:51] experimental beekeeping has been organized.
[00:13:55] as one of the measures for involving and rehabilitating this territory,
[00:13:59] however, it must be taken into account that for its organization
[00:14:02] work was determined for surveying local
[00:14:05] areas and 10
[00:14:08] apiaries were organized, depending on the year we
[00:14:11] harvest up to 10 tons of products
[00:14:14] and in general it complies with the permissible
[00:14:17] republican levels, the task of this direction is
[00:14:21] to obtain results of beekeeping on...
[00:14:55] these areas where we conduct this
[00:14:57] event, this type of activity, they
[00:15:01] have also undergone a scrupulous assessment of contamination
[00:15:03] density, only under such conditions is
[00:15:07] their organization and development possible, that is, results were obtained
[00:15:10] at what contamination density this type of activity can be carried out at all
[00:15:14] and normatively clean
[00:15:17] products can be obtained,
[00:15:20] starting from 1996, within
[00:15:23] the framework of the Head of State's instructions, on the territory
[00:15:26] of the Reserve, as one of the types of experimental
[00:15:30] activity - experimental horse breeding was created. First
[00:15:34] of all - it is aimed at considering
[00:15:38] the possibility of breeding on
[00:15:41] this territory the breed, Russian Heavy Draft.
[00:15:44] Our horses participate in
[00:15:47] republican, international competitions,
[00:15:50] in principle, this idea, as one of the measures
[00:15:54] of possibilities of use, it has a right to exist,
[00:15:57] because -
