The City

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"Slavytych was founded at 1986 in connection with Chornobyl' nuclear failure."

I think more correct name is Slavutych (or Slavutich). The town of Slavutych was founded after Chernobyl tragedy for former inhabitants of Chernobyl. Black colour on the CoA symbolizes the memory of that terrible days.

Considering the complexities of this issue (cross equivalence and identity of cyrillic letter usage in Russian and Ukrainian), I guess the original spelling, in the cyrillic alphabet, would be the only stable reference.
I seem to remember that the "Cherno-" preffix in that name did not meant, as would be expected, "black". Is this usage of black color a refute, a case of popular ethimology, or just unrelated usage of black as mourning color?
