Shorten the time for soil cleaning by bio-plants
The Belarusian government is carrying out a pilot plan to plant biofuel crops to faster clean up the radioactive areas after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
Planting biofuel crops to help renovate contaminated soil.
According to New Science magazine, the use of fuel plants to extract radioactive substances such as strontium and cesium helps shorten the time for soil cleaning from hundreds of years to 20-40 years and can improve soil suitable for planting trees. Food for humans like wheat.
However, the leader of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Didier Louvat said that the country currently does not have enough technology to remove radioactive substances in the production of biofuels. Greenfield plans to build the first biofuel plant in Mozyr in 2011 with an initial capacity of about 700 million liters of biofuels per year.
Belarus is the most affected country after the Chernobyl disaster with an area of about 40,000 km2 of heavily radioactive plants and soil such as strontium-90, cesium-137, plutonium and americium. There are about 8 million Belarusian people living in radioactive areas and the Belarusian government considers land cleaning a top priority.
