INVESTIGATIONS AND PROJECTS COMPLETED
During more than 25 years our laboratory
has inquired into the environmental radioactivity. In our research
we use, for the most part, original technique and equipment. We
consider the most important and interesting of our numerous projects
are the following.
- Equipment and methodic elaboration for measurement
of the concentration of radioactive noble
gases (radionuclides of the Kr and Xe) and 3T in
the lower atmosphere (1962-1982.)
- The sequence of experiments on measurement of
the concentration of the radioactive noble gases and 3T
in the lower atmosphere (1962-1992.)
- The development of the airborne gamma-spectrometry
system (AGSS) based on semiconductor Ge and scintillation Nal(Tl)
combined detector unit. AGSS was intended for gamma-radiation
sources search and their characteristics investigation (1980-1983.)
- The operative research (using airborne gamma-spectrometry
system) of the USSR European territory gamma-radioactive
contamination caused by Chernobyl accident (1986-1987.)
- The development of the airborne gamma-spectrometry
system with a multi-detector unit based on semiconductor Ge detectors
for environment radioactivity research using remote technique
(1989-1991.)
- The airborne gamma-spectrometry research of the
territories of Semipalatinsk Test Site (1989-1990) and Novaja
Zemlja Islands South part (August - October 1995) radioactive
pollution after nuclear tests stop.
- Participation in the Soviet-American experiment
on board “Slava” cruiser: sea launch missile nuclear war-head
gamma-radiation measurement (July 1989.)
- Development of the low
background gamma-spectrometry system for the laboratory radionuclide
analysis of the environment samples from nuclear power industry
areas (1991-1994.)
- Ecosystem gamma-radiation radionuclides
and 3T content investigation for Kolskaja, Kalininskaja,
Kurskaja, Smolenskaja, Bilibinskaja, Novovoronezhskaja and Voronezhskaja
nuclear power plants (NPP) (1990-1997.)
- The investigation of the
natural and artificial radioactivity of construction materials
used in Moscow region
(from the beginning of 1993.)
- Development
of the equipment and technique
for the measurement of the 3T content in the nuclear
power plant area ecosystem
water component (1994-1995.)
- The
investigation of the Moskvorechye
District radiation environment condition caused by long-term
operation of the IRT-2000 reactor in MEPhI (1997-1998.)
