Memorial day at "Zolak": Belhydromet on the importance of radiation safety for the younger generation

On April 25, a dialogue platform entitled "Memorial day for victims of radiation disasters" was held at the State Educational Institution "Zolak Palace of children and youth" in Minsk.

The event, aimed at raising awareness among students in grades 5–10 about the consequences of radiation accidents and the importance of radiation safety, was attended by Irina Khorovets, Deputy Head of the Radiation Monitoring Service – Head of the Department at Belhydromet.

During the meeting, Irina Khorovets told the schoolchildren about Belhydromet's role in the country's radiation monitoring system, emphasizing the need for constant control over the radiation situation. Special attention was paid to the lessons learned from the Chernobyl accident and how this knowledge helps prevent similar tragedies in the future. Topics covered included sources of radiation, its impact on living organisms, and protective measures.

The dialogue platform served as an important step in the patriotic and environmental education of the younger generation. Students had the opportunity to ask questions to a specialist, which contributed to a deeper understanding of complex radiation safety issues. Such events help foster a responsible attitude among youth towards environmental protection and personal safety.
