A technique for assessment of confined groundwater security against contamination has been evaluated and developed to forecast changes in ecological-hydrogeological conditions in the part of the Kaluga region that was contaminated with Chernobyl radionuclides. This new technique is also useful for resolution of various ecological issues other than just radionuclide contamination.

Radionuclide Contamination

As result of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident the territory of the left-bank flood-lands of the Pripyat River have undergone intensive radionuclide contamination. With the purpose of preventing the washing away of radioactive substances, a complex of flood protection dams was constructed. This construction changed the hydrological regime of these territories and caused overgrowth by higher aquatic plants. Absence of a flowing mode of reservoirs, the stagnant phenomena during spring and seasonal high waters on the embank site have caused amplification of eutrophication processes, swamping and, connected with it, increase of water-marsh floristic complex in the structure of the vegetative cover.

Large Carnivores of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Exclusion Zone During nine years observations on large carnivores of Exclusion Zone have been carried out. Species composition and the number of large predators in the Exclusion Zone correspond to the regional conditions. The presence of bears and permanent stay of the lynx in the Exclusion Zone was confirmed. Six wolf packs were counted. The use of an anthropogenically transformed areas, the shift of the daily regime of activity and characteristics of the diet are the most specific features of this animal group.

Purpose. To increase the level of medical care for depression patients with autoaggressive manifestations (AM) in victims during a radiation disaster and fighting by developing new diagnostic and treatment programs. Material and methods. The object and methods of the study were 70 liquidators of the accident consequences at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant aged from 54 to 65 years old and 45 combatants of the Anti-terroristic operation (Joint forces operation) aged from 25 to 59 years old – comparison group, depression patients with AM, psychosomatic pathology were examined. For the main group and the comparisons group were used clinical and paraclinical methods, division into groups, according to diagnostic and treatment programs, therapy and follow-up from 2 months to 2 years. Results. The main group observed increasing depressive frequency disorders with AM in liquidators of the accident consequences at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The examination revealed asthenic – in 34 (48.6 %) patients, anxiety – in 13 (18.6 %), apathetic – in 8 (11.4 %), hypochondriac – in 7 (10 %), dysphoric – in 5 (7.1 %), obsessive-phobic – in 3 (4.3 %) variants of depression with AM. These particular disorders are characterized asthenic, anxiety and apathetic symptoms, progressive course, personality changes with organic and psychosomatic traits, cognitive deficit (р <0,05). In the comparison group, asthenic was found in 13 (28.3 %) patients, anxious in 11 (23.9 %), hypochondriac in 10 (21.7 %), dysphoric in 6 (13 %), and obsessive-phobic – in 3 (6.5 %) and apathetic variants – in 2 (4.4 %) depression with AM. After the participation in the Anti-terroristic operation (Joint forces operation) fighters exhibit depression with AM in combination with psychosomatic and personality traits, changes in the bioelectrical activity of the brain. These particular disorders are characterized asthenic, anxiety, hypochondriac symptoms, personality and psychosomatic traits (р <0,05). Conclusions. The proposed comprehensive treatment and diagnostic program will increase the level of medical care of the liquidators of the accident consequences at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, combatants of the Anti-terroristic operation (Joint forces operation) and prevent the occurrence of suicide. Key words: depression, autoaggressive manifestations, diagnostics, treatment, prevention, combatants of the Anti-terroristic operation (Joint forces operation), liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident.
