RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION OF GROUNDWATER IN THE CHORNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE: CURRENT STATUS, LONG-TERM TRENDS, AND CHALLENGES IN MONITORING SYSTEM MODERNIZATION

Groundwater contamination by radionuclides in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) has been recognized since the early post-accident period (i.e., May – June 1986), when large-scale protective measures were implemented, as a potential pathway for the transport of radioactivity to the river network of...
