I sure hope they employ Americans there. And why is the U. of Georgia being funded to do this (who is paying for this?)? Why isn't it one of the National Laboratories? Would someone tell me why we are financially supporting Russian science and letting U.S. scientists, many of whom have spent the bulk of their careers winning the Cold War for the U. S., be unemployed, underemployed, or forced into early and inadequately funded retirement?
Clearly only my own opinion.

Subject: University of Georgia To Build Lab Near Chernobyl
UG To Build Lab Near Chernobyl - (ATHENS) -- The University of
Georgia plans to build a laboratory near the Ukraine's Chernobyl
nuclear reactor. University officials have signed an agreement to
build the lab in order to study the effects of radiation on wildlife and
plants near the disabled reactor. No one has been allowed to live
within 18-miles of the Chernobyl nuclear plant
since a 1986 explosion there.
