A dog in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, 2017. The exact origin of the populations of dogs living in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) and the surrounding areas of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is unknown. [1] However, it is hypothesized that these animals are the descendants of pets left behind during the original evacuation of Pripyat.
The latest research on dogs in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone defies what many scientists suspected Genetic differences in Chernobyl dogs may not be down to radiation, new study suggests Skip to ...
Radiation-induced mutations may not be the reason for the genetic differences between dog populations living near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to a new study.. The study, published ...
The study uncovered that the feral dogs living near the Chernobyl Power Plant showed distinct genetic differences from dogs living only some 10 miles away in nearby Chernobyl City.

The mutation rates for plants and animals have increased by a factor of 20 because of the release of radionuclides from Chernobyl. There is evidence for elevated mortality rates and increased rates of reproductive failure in contaminated areas, consistent with the expected frequency of deaths due to mutations.
A new study analyzed the DNA of feral dogs living near Chernobyl, compared the animals to others living 10 miles away, and found remarkable differences.
Initially, the Soviet Union's toll of deaths directly caused by the Chernobyl disaster included only the two Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers killed in the immediate aftermath of the explosion of the plant's reactor. However, by late 1986, Soviet officials updated the official count to 30, reflecting the deaths of 28 additional plant ...
