Cadastral valuation of land contaminated with radionuclides

详细

The methodology and procedure for cadastral valuation of land in the areas contaminated with radionuclides are presented. The efficiency of rehabilitation measures applied to decrease crop contamination to the levels satisfying sanitary-hygienic norms is discussed. The differentiation of cadastral value of radioactively contaminated agricultural lands for the particular farms and land plots is suggested. An example of cadastral valuation of agricultural land contaminated during the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident is given. It is shown that the use of sandy and loamy sandy soddy-podzolic soils with the ¹³⁷Cs contamination of 37–185 and >185 kBq/m² for crop growing is unfeasible. The growing of grain crops and potatoes on clay loamy soddy-podzolic soils with the ¹³⁷Cs contamination of 555–740 kBq/m² is unprofitable. The maximum cadastral value of radioactively contaminated lands is typical of leached chernozems.
