[Radiological Aspects of Transition of Russian Areas Affected by the Chernobyl Accident to Normal Activities].

Dynamics of radiation situation in settlements, agriculture and forestry on the Russian Federation areas af- fected by the Chernobyl accident is presented. A set of challenging problems on public radiation protection and rehabilitation of territories was determined. The main objective at a long-term period after the accident is a stage-wise return of the affected areas to normal activity without any radiological criteria restrictions.

[Radioecological division of the Russian forests contaminated by radionuclides].

The dependence of trans factor of radionuclides on the soil to the vegetation (wood etc.) caused by natural-climatic conditions determine a duration period of the rehabilitation of ecological and social-economic functions of forests landscapes polluted by radionuclides. It firstly allows to classify forest ecosystems by groups of their radioecological stability with division into three appropriate radioecological districts.
