The Institute of Radiobiology offers consumers services for the use of a forecast model for the accumulation of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr in major agricultural crops, on various types of soil, depending on their main characteristics, to determine the calculated forecast values ​​of the specific activity of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr radionuclides in crop products under an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreemen

As a result of the task "Assessment and forecast of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr accumulation by the main agricultural crops cultivated on different types of soils in the remote post-Chernobyl period" within the framework of the State Program for Overcoming the Consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster for 2011-2015 and for the Period up to 2020, an improved model for forecasting the specific activity of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr radionuclides in crop products has been developed.

The model is implemented as a web application.

The forecast model is designed to determine the calculated forecast values ​​of the specific activity of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr radionuclides in crop products.

The model can be used to determine the specific activity of radionuclides in agricultural crops grown on sod-podzolic soils and peat soils. The range of agricultural crops on sod-podzolic soils includes 41 names, on peat soils - 15 names. The forecast is made on the corresponding tabs.

The intensity of the radionuclide transfer depends on the agrochemical parameters of the soil, so the model allows you to determine the specific activity of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr in products with different soil parameters: acidity, humus content, mobile forms of potassium and phosphorus.

Changing the agrochemical parameters of the soil is done by moving the corresponding slider. Changing the density of soil contamination with radionuclides is done in a similar way.
The list of crops for peat soils is smaller than for sod-podzolic soil, which is due to recommendations for the use of soils of this type.
The predicted values ​​​​of the specific activity of radionuclides in products will be displayed in the table.

The forecast is made for grain (moisture content 14%), green mass (moisture content 82%), hay (moisture content 16%), potatoes and vegetables (moisture content 78-87%).

When using the results of the model calculation, a reference to the model is required.

The State Scientific Institution "Institute of Radiobiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus" is a leading organization carrying out scientific and scientific-organizational activities in accordance with the main areas of scientific research:

– assessment and forecast of long-term medical and biological consequences of the action of ionizing radiation;
– study of the combined effect of radiation and non-radiation factors on the body, including electromagnetic radiation, development of protective measures;
– assessment of the impact of radioactive contamination on the environment, plants, and animals, development of methods for safe environmental management, radioecological monitoring;
– study of the processes of inclusion of radionuclides in food chains under conditions of radioactive contamination, including transuranium elements, their intake and accumulation in the body and the formation of radiation doses, development of methods for influencing these processes in order to reduce negative consequences.

The priority areas of scientific and technical activity and fundamental and applied scientific research are:

- "Medicine and Pharmacy": the creation of new technologies for the prevention of diseases based on the use of biologically active additives and other medicines;
- "Ecology and rational nature management": monitoring and forecasting the state of the environment, rehabilitation of radioactively contaminated lands;
- "Development of new therapeutic, diagnostic, preventive and rehabilitation technologies, medical devices and products, medicinal and immunobiological preparations, cellular and molecular biological technologies": mechanisms of adaptation of the human body to the action of environmental factors, including the effects of ionizing radiation;
– “Ecological safety, environmental protection, minerals and subsoil of Belarus, efficient use and renewal of natural resources, prevention and elimination of consequences of emergency situations”: protective measures to overcome the remote radioecological consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.
- study of the mechanisms of the biological action of low doses of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and the influence that has developed in the regions of the republic, the environmental situation on living organisms;
- study of patterns of behavior of pollutants and radionuclides in ecosystems, their inclusion in trophic chains and accumulation in the body;
- development of ways and means to reduce the negative impact of environmental factors on human health.
