Abstract

There was high intensive forest fire with large throw out radioactive aerosole with ascend smoke to 2 km of height. Primary the wind was to Belarus, Vilnus, Warshava. They get not small amounts of radioactive particles of stroncium-20 and others radioactive, long-live dangerous, radioactive elements. As a result this forest fire-fighting operation showed very clean that Ukraine government have poor possibilities and don't control the forest - fires at Chernobyl area. It's very dangerous for Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Litva, Finland and etc. Because it's great European countries problem and must to solve it include the new technology. Any negotiations with Ukraine Government are poor-effective, because it Government can't ensure fire safety of radiocative forest in Chernobyl area. There is real, great dangerous of radioactive aerosol and smoke intensive generate by large forest fires at Chernobyl zone. The radioactive clouds spreading all over East-Nord Europe from great forest fires in Chernobyl zone. It's not effective environmental monitoring only - there need new technology for fast, precisely forest fire-fighting timely - to stop radioactive clouds go to Europe regular spring and autumn annually, timely. Theoretical and experimental studies, conducted by author, have allowed the radioactive smoke of the wildfire flame to be determined. The pyrolysis zones and the zones containing the pyrolysis products and oxygen were found to be the most unstable during combustion of natural high-molecular compounds such as needle litter, herbage, and timber. In this case, if these zones are subjected to the shock waves, then they will be destroyed and the process of combustion will stop. At the same time the theoretical and experimental studies have shown that the shoot spray lead to an increase in pressure in the unstable zones during interaction with these zones, which increases the efficiency of extinguishing a fire. This approach directed to the destruction of unstable zones allows the new technical methods and devices to be created for providing the safety of fireman-operators, the environmental safety through conservation of natural resources, and the high efficiency. Similar requirements are met by blasting methods: combined method of localization and suppression of ground forest and steppe fires; line charge for localization and suppression of fires, as well as a disintegrator of a ground forest fire front, technical description and characteristics which are presented in this paper.
