  1. People University of South CarolinaChernobyl Research Initiative Research Publications Photos Press Coverage Since 1998, USC has actively sponsored research related to the long term ecological and health consequences of the radioactive contaminants that were dispersed over vast expanses of Europe in 1986. Investigators at USC and the University of Paris-Sudhave obtained funding from a variety of extramural sources including the US National Science Foundation (NSF), The National Geographic Society, the Civilian Research Development Foundation (CRDF), NATO, CNRS, and the Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust, and have published several seminal papers concerning the impacts of low level radioactive contaminants on ecological systems. This research is important for the understanding of long term consequences of radiation for ecosystem and human health and will be instrumental in predicting the environmental half-lives of these contaminants. This research is also of significance for hazard assessment related to industrial, military or terrorist nuclear incidents, and the effects of mutagens on evolutionary responses of natural populations.
