GAMMA-RADIATION RADIONUCLIDES AND 3T CONTENT INVESTIGATION IN RUSSIAN NPP REGIONS ENVIRONMENT

To estimate the environmental effect of (nuclear power plant) NPP (both in operation and in design) information is highly needed about radioactive wastes and natural radionuclides in environmental objects. Such information can be received in the context of NPP region radiation monitoring.
Operating and designed NPP region nature objects samples (these nature objects are to be under research in the context of radiation situation monitoring) are subdivided into surface, aquatic and agricultural produce samples.
Surface samples include:

  • On layer at a time ground samples with depth step between 1 and 3 cm (depth up to 30 cm).
  • Cultivated ground layer with depth up to 30 cm.
  • Surface vegetation.
  • Litter, humus layer.
  • Fallen needle, leaves, branches.
  • Sorption filters.

Aquatic samples include:

  • On layer at a time ground sediments with depth step between 3 and 5 cm (depth up to 30 cm).
  • Ground sediments surface layer with depth up to 5 cm..
  • Aquatic vegetation.
  • Fish and mollusk muscles, skin, scales and internal organs.
  • Sorption and ion-change filters.

Agricultural produce samples include:

  • Leguminous plants samples.
  • Vegetable samples.
  • Meat and milk produce samples.
  • Bakery produce samples..


In the context of Ministry of Nuclear Power RF research institutes joint efforts above mentioned samples gamma-radiation radionuclides content investigations were executed. The research was executed using semiconductor detector low-background gamma-spectrometry technique.
Aquatic samples 3T content was measured by liquid scintillation gamma-spectrometry.
About 2500 Kurskaja, Smolenskaja, Bilibinskaja, Novovoronezhskaja, Kolskaja, Kalininskaja NPP regions samples were studied.
