Rudnytsky was a geographer and professor with deep roots in the Ukrainian national movement. He received much of his education in Vienna, where the base map from which he created this map was produced. The fact that the most easily available maps of this territory even decades later were produced by this company (and by Soviet cartographers outside Moscow) highlights a strange feature of Ukraine's existence as a state and as a territory--the fact of it being constantly described from a distance. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/536088439b155a42aaf19b1df0f129d0.jpg 940a2e3c7f15b94b0ce4b5ebd5016b94 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was published along with the proceedings of the International Chernobyl Project, a study and conference organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency to study the effects of the disaster in-depth, with scientists from outside the Soviet Union conducting research on the ground to a level unheard of in previous years. This is one of two maps produced by the project. It shows the distribution of Strontium-90, which, once it enters a human body, is deposited in the bones and can cause a host of cancers. It also has a small inset showing a map of Plutonium-239 and -240 contamination, which covers only the area around the reactor and shows much smaller concentrations of contamination. While the map does not contain nuanced information about how this distribution coincides with elements of human geography--for example, settlements, water sources, or agricultural land--the map subtly prioritizes a generalized human body, presenting only the information judged most necessary to understand the risk to human life. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/ccf69905de84c20a3d6a4a8faf377d61.jpg 3069a6192b85d4ab39c808014788506c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Chernobyl Radiation Map CS-137 Today Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Chernobyl Foundation Description An account of the resource This map portrays soil contamination on the territory of Ukraine with cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, as of April 2011. Cesium-137 has a half-life of approximately 30 years (which means that 30 years after its release, half of it will have degraded and become non-radioactive). While it is not the source of the most enduring threat from the accident (other isotopes have half-lives of up to a quarter of a million years), it is one of the main contaminants affecting humans. While my project focuses on the use of environmental monitoring data to define the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a 30-km radius around the accident site, the additional information provided by this map is valuable in that it shows the compromise inherent in the construction of the Zone, and the generalizations about risk that it implies. The map makes it clear that the bulk of the contamination lies closest to the accident site, but it is also made clear that other regions are by no means exempt from the threat of contamination. Additionally, by providing no information about contamination outside Ukraine, it defines the environmental burden of the accident's aftermath as a Ukrainian issue.

However, it shows a subtle but unmistakeable political shift for the immediate post-Soviet period: rather than a map of the Soviet Union, this is a contamination map of Russia. In the post-Soviet period, the Soviet successor states were faced with the task of managing the long-term effects of environmental disasters that were arguably the fault of governments that no longer existed.
