The radioactive contamination territory of Ukraine by Pu and ²⁴¹Am radionuclides due to the Chernobyl accident

The decay of β-emitting ²⁴¹Pu gives rise to long-lived α-radionuclides ²⁴¹Am and ²³⁷Np, which are highly radiotoxic. The estimations of the ²⁴¹Pu, ²⁴¹Am and ²³⁷Np content of the Chernobyl NPP accidental release have shown that by the present time nearly 90% of the ²⁴¹Pu isotope had already disintegr...
