Abstract

The article shows the dynamics of changes in the area of radioactive contamination of the forest fund of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Belarus for 1995–2022. A forecast of changes in the radiation situation on the territory of the Vetkovskiy forestry is presented. Since forestry in the zones of radioactive contamination is regulated taking into account the density of soil contamination in forest quarters, forecast of changes in the radiation situation in the forest fund will optimize the planning of work in the Vetkovskiy forestry, and as a result, expand the possibilities for the effective use of forests. As present, the Vetkovskiy forestry belongs to the I group of severity (catastrophic conditions) in terms of radioactive contamination of the territory, 100% of the forested lands are contaminated with cesium-137. As of 01.01.2023, 61% of the territory of the forestry is subject to contamination with radionuclide’s with a density of more than 5 Ki/km2 , 23.7% – more than 15 Ki/km2 . In areas with a pollution density of more than 15 Ki/km2 , economic activities and forest management are limited, increased measures are being taken to prevent and prevent forest fires, restrictions on logging and harvesting of forest food products been introduced. According to the forecast, by the 2050 the territories of the will leave the zone of 15–40 Ki/km2 , by 2150 only 6.8% of the territory of the forest fund will remain in the zone of radioactive contamination and be 2175 the Vetkovskiy forestry will completely leave the zones of radioactive pollution.
