Abstract This paper investigates potential countermeasures to mitigate the disastrous effects of gamma radiation exposure in the event of a possible destruction of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine’s largest nuclear facility, due to escalating conflicts. The potential destruction could result in an unparalleled release of gamma radiation, posing significant threats to human health and the environment. By examining the radiological dangers of gamma radiation, past case studies of radiation exposure, current countermeasures, as well as the limitations and challenges of these strategies, we may provide a comprehensive overview of the multidimensional nature of this potential crisis. The paper also explores innovative approaches in decontamination under resource constraints, focusing on dry decontamination, the use of alternative fluids, and the effective management of decontamination effluents.

Niniejsza praca bada środki zaradcze mające na celu złagodzenie skutków ekspozycji na promieniowanie gamma w przypadku ewentualnego zniszczenia Elektrowni Jądrowej w Zaporożu, największej instalacji jądrowej na Ukrainie. Potencjalne zniszczenie mogłoby skutkować uwolnieniem promieniowania gamma, stanowiąc znaczące zagrożenie dla zdrowia ludzkiego i środowiska. Badając radiologiczne zagrożenia promieniowaniem gamma, przeszłe przypadki ekspozycji na promieniowanie, obecne środki zaradcze oraz ograniczenia i wyzwania związane z tymi strategiami, dostarczamy kompleksowy przegląd wielowymiarowej natury tego potencjalnego kryzysu. Praca analizuje również innowacyjne podejścia do dekontaminacji przy ograniczonych zasobach, koncentrując się na dekontaminacji suchej, użyciu alternatywnych płynów oraz efektywnym zarządzaniu zanieczyszczeniami powstałymi w wyniku dekontaminacji.
