	Polesie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The swamp areas of Polesie are known as Pripyat Marshes (by the name of the Pripyat River) or Pinsk Marshes (by the name of the major city in the area).
		Polesie is a marshy region lining the Pripyat River in Southern Belarus (Brest, Pinsk, Kalinkavichy, Homel), Northern Ukraine (in the Volyns'ka, Rivnens'ka, Zhytomyrs'ka, Kyivs'ka, and Chernihivs'ka oblasts), and partly in Poland (Lublin) and Russia (Bryansk).
		Notable tributaries of the Pripyat are the (), (,), Styr, (), () rivers.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Pripyat
		For the people who still live in Pripyat, a small town situated next to Chernobyl, it is both a contamination zone (or a "Zone of Alienation," its official title) and a place where they lived, dreamt, created families, and raised kids.
		Prior to 1986, the population of Pripyat was roughly 48,000.
		Pripyat used to be a lively little town, both a powerful nuclear center and a conveniently planned city with schools and urban apartments.

	Radiation pollution
		The data analysis of concentration of caesium-137 during the spring flood in the Pripyat basin in 1999 shows that concentration of caesium-137 in a dissolved form in the Pripyat basin (the city of Mozyr) remains at the level of the average indices for the prior period (1996-1998).
		The comparison between the indices of caesium-137 transfer for the period of 1987-1993 at the end-point monitoring checkpoints on the Dnieper and the Pripyat in the Ukraine and at the monitoring checkpoints in Belarus shows that only 26% of the total transfer of radioactive caesium-137 were generated within the 30-kilometer Chernobyl zone.
		Due attention is devoted to studies of the radiation state of small rivers, which are tributaries of the Pripyat (the Braginka, Nesvich and Slovechna Rivers) and the Sozh (the Lipa and the Senna) in the most contaminated areas of the Gomel and Mogilev regions.

	Chernboyl Diary, 1996
		Pripyat could be the end of the beginning of the world--perhaps it will be yet.
		Pripyat is the end of the world, it is the apocalypse.
		The question is whether Pripyat will be merely the end of the Soviet Union and an economic and health burden on Ukraine, Belarus, and even Russia for generations to come, or whether it must be repeated, again and again, until our Earth's powers recognize that there is no escape from a Chernobyl.

		The settlement of Pripyat is five kilometers from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
		Today Pripyat is a heavily guarded and highly contaminated ghost town in the centre of the radioactive zone, which extends from the Ukraine deep into White Russia.
		Pripyat tells of survival in an improvised microcosm where you should neither eat nor drink local produce, nor inhale dust on a windy day; however, as radioactivity cannot be detected by the human senses, virtually no one pays attention to these recommendations.

		Pripyat's 50,000 inhabitants were quickly evacuated, though they expected to return after the emergency was contained.
		The area worst hit by the fallout from reactor number 4 was due west of the reactor complex, and is called the "Red Forest" because of the color of all the dead trees in the area; everything there died.
		Pripyat got off lucky, since it was to the north and out of the direct path of the plume.

		Within the Pripyat Graben south of the marginal fault the Upper-Devonian section is complemented by the uppermost horizons of the Famennian (Lebedian-Streshin and Polessie strata), thick beds of Famennian salt appear and the thickness of the wholt synrift deposits increases considerably (up to 4.0 km).
		Very late in the Famennian (Polessian time) the amplitude of the Pripyat Graben sinking relative to the North-Pripyat shoulder was as high as 1 km and even slightly higher, and in the Early Carboniferous it reached 450 m.
		Abstract: The structure and formation of suprasalt Paleozoic deposits of the Pripyat Basin, the distribution of reservoirs, seals and traps in them, conditions of generation, migration and accumulation of oil, hydrogeological and paleotectonic peculiarities of formation and conservation of oil pools were investigated.

		Located on the Pripyat floodplain, the waters from the wetlands flow into the Dnieper River on its way to the Black Sea, helping to make it the third largest river system in Europe, after the Danube and the Volga rivers.
		Today it scarcely is limited to three to four kilometres wide, the land is not economically suitable for farming, and the problems of flooding have not abated.
		Where there are large areas of unspoiled wetlands adjoining the Pripyat River unique in the world, there are larger areas that are drained, and even greater amounts of land and wetland contaminated by nuclear fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe.

		They were preserved from washout in the west edge of the Moscow Syneclise, within the Pripyat, Dnieper and Lvov-Lyublin Troughs, where they are represented by Tournaisian, Visean and Serpukhovian deposits of the lower series, by the Bashkirian and Moscow deposits of the middle series, and by Kasimovian deposits of the upper series of the Carboniferous.
		The structure of the Carboniferous surface in the Pripyat and Dnieper Troughs was affected by salt tectonics, and in the Lvov-Lyublin Trough Carboniferous deposits were dislocated by a set of longitudinal faults.
		A zone promising for Jurassic coals was distinguished within the Pripyat Trough between the modern limits of Mid-Jurassic deposits and approximately a zero isohypse of their base.

		Anna Watson helped compile a survey of the Pripyat Marshes in the Ukraine which was backed by a £15,000 award by the Royal Geographical Society.
		The money is being used to mount an expedition to the Pripyat Marshes of Ukraine, using canoes to examine the biodiversity of remote regions which astonishingly are, even today, unexplored.

		Population density in the areas situated far from Pripyat riverbed is dependent on abundance of wetlands and open land (excluding drained ones) abundance and it decreases together with distance to the riverbed.
		The distribution of nests of the White Stork in Pripyat floodplain clearly shows that they are associated with wetlands, their main foraging habitat.
		The present positive population trend of the White Stork in northwestern Europe is attributed to improved feeding condition in the wintering areas, the immigration of birds from east European countries.

		It was a thriving, and modern, filled with schools, playgrounds, high rise apartments, restaurants, a music hall, a cultural center, an indoor pool and several athletic stadiums -- enough of the good things in life to compensate nuclear plant workers for their isolation.
		Still later, some 36 hours after the explosions at reactor No. 4, the people of Pripyat were told they had two hours to prepare to evacuate and that they would be gone from their homes for three days.
