Service of Radiation Control Vilejka experienced forestry

     On the basis of Vilejka experienced forestry created and operates Post Radiation Control (PRC), which meets the criteria of accreditation systems and accredited by the RB to meet the requirements of STB ISO / IEC 17025.
     Address post radiation control: 222410, Minsk region., In Vileika Str. Stakhanovskaya, 221, phone: +375 1771 3-22-50.
     Main activities of PRC: Determination of cesium-137 in forestry products, products side forest, food, agricultural and medicinal and technical raw materials, feed, dose rate of gamma radiation.
     Territory Vilejka experienced forestry, has undergone radioactive contamination of radiocesium over
1 Ku / sq km. amounts to 337 hectares. Polluted with radionuclides in varying degrees, three of the 11 forest districts of Forestry - Izhskoe, Ilyanskoe and Starinkovskoe. According to the severity Radioactive contamination Vileika experimental forestry occupies 50 place out of 53 contaminated forest enterprises in the republic and is a second group of gravity of radioactive contamination.

Recommendations for collecting mushrooms and berries     Going into the woods, we must remember that his gifts can accumulate radioactive cesium. Particular attention should be paid to fungi, since they are very actively accumulate radionuclides. By the ability to accumulate cesium-137 fungi can be divided into 4 groups:
     1. Accumulater (gorkushka, cap ringed (chicken), mushroom polish, Suillus, Paxillus involutus, Boletus) - collection of these fungi is not recommended.
     2. Strongly accumulate (russules, mushrooms, Lactarius, Zelenka, skripnitsa, Reshetnik) - to gather mushrooms in this group is allowed at a density of soil contamination to 1 Ku / sq km. with mandatory radiometric control.
     3. Moderate accumulate (boletus, orange-cap boletus, chanterelle real, white mushroom, podzelenka, morel, mushroom).
     4. Poorly accumulate (raincoats, umbrellas, mushrooms, wild mushrooms, champignons).
     Semi fungi belonging to low and Moderate accumulate cesium-137 groups, recommended in the forests to the density of soil pollution to 2 Ku/sq km. with mandatory radiometric control.
     When harvesting and processing of mushrooms should know that: in a mushroom cesium-137 concentration is higher than in the legs; collected mushrooms before cooking should always be cleaned from adhering particles of forest litter, moss, soil, reduction of radionuclides in mushrooms can be achieved by boiling them for 15-60 minutes in salted water with vinegar or citric acid and removing every 15 minutes to brew, with drying mushrooms radionuclide content in them is not reduced.
     By the ability to accumulate cesium-137 berries can be divided into 3 groups:
     1. Strongly accumulate (cranberries, blueberries, cranberries, blueberries).
     2. Moderate accumulate (strawberry, mountain ash).
     3. Poorly accumulate (blackberry, cranberry, raspberry).
     Harvesting of wild berries are allowed in the woods with the density of soil contamination to 2 Ku / sq km. with the mandatory inspection of the content of radionuclides.
     When harvesting and processing of wild berries should be aware that: at the same density of soil pollution accumulation of cesium-137 in more berries in wet growing conditions than in dry and collect berries before eating should always be cleaned from adhering particles of the litter, moss, soil, and several just rinse under running water.
     Check you have collected from the forest can be from Monday to Friday from 8.00 am till 17.00 in the PRC Vilejka experienced forestry.
