8. Economy

a) Economy of Ukraine

Chernobyl is situated in Ukraine, and therefore the economy has experience many problems as a result.
The Ukraine has rich mineral potential. They have 2 million tons of black coal deposits, and 4.2 million tons of brown coal deposits. Their metals are very clean. Their steel has a 64% purity krel. They produce 20% of their own natural gas. The industrial area is only 300 sectors. This industry provides the majority of the nations resources. Agriculture is not profitable because the dark farming soil is contaminated throughout the north. This change has increased unemployment, declined production and declined the living standard. The economy of Ukraine has been in a major crisis since the break up of the Soviet Union. b) Shutting off Chernobyl Electric Plant and Economic Problems

The shutting down of the Chernobyl electric plant raised the question: Will the Ukraine have enough electricity? Germany’s OKO institute, anticipates a marked increase in usage of electricity after 2001, because people in Ukraine and Soviet Union didn’t make attempts to in the past, electricity in the Soviet Union was cheaper than today. Currently, about 40 traditional heat and electric plants don’t work because they don’t have fuel. From an economic and ecologic positions it, is best to Ukraine and world economists believe it is possible to reduce electricity usage by 40-60%.
The absence of the 5% of the Ukraine’s electricity that Chernobyl provided shouldn’t effect the Ukraine’s economy
