Abstract. The dataset "Spatial datasets of radionuclide contamination in the Ukrainian Chernobyl Exclusion Zone" was developed to enable data collected between May 1986 (immediately after Chernobyl) and 2014 by the Ukrainian Institute of Agricultural Radiology (UIAR) after the Chernobyl accident to be made publicly available. The dataset includes results from comprehensive soil sampling across the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). Analyses include radiocaesium ( 134 Cs and 134 Cs) 90 Sr, 154 Eu and soil property data; plutonium isotope activity concentrations in soil (including distribution in the soil profile); analyses of "hot" (or fuel) particles from the CEZ (data from Poland and across Europe are also included); and results of monitoring in the Ivankov district, a region adjacent to the exclusion zone.The purpose of this paper is to describe the available data and methodology used to obtain them. The data will be valuable to those conducting studies within the CEZ in a number of ways, for instance (i) for helping to perform robust exposure estimates to wildlife, (ii) for predicting comparative activity concentrations of different key radionuclides, (iii) for providing a baseline against which future surveys in the CEZ can be compared, (iv) as a source of information on the behaviour of fuel particles (FPs), (v) for performing retrospective dose assessments and (vi) for assessing natural background dose rates in the CEZ.The CEZ has been proposed as a "radioecological observatory" (i.e. a radioactively contaminated site that will provide a focus for long-term, radioecological collaborative international research).

“…Such particles have been the focus of some research groups (Kashparov et al, 2004;Salbu, 2001) and were found in the near zone of the Krasnoyarsk MCC (Bolsunovsky and Tcherkezian, 2001;Sukhorukov et al, 2009). Gritchenko et al (2001) proposed to call the fuel particles of the activity lower than those of Chernobyl origin "hot" particles of the second kind.…”

“…Soils with high organic or clay content and unimproved pasture had higher radioecological sensitivity and more likelihood of producing contaminated meat and milk, and to a lesser extent, vegetables. Small private farms competing with the large Soviet collectives and, in Northern and Western Europe, alpine meadows and upland regions with poor soils, were most affected (Kashparov et al, 2004).…”
