Abstract: The dissertation described patterns of migration of radionuclides in various environmental media and accumulation of radioactive substances in the products. Observation of the effects of radioactive substances on vegetation and animals. The thesis presents systems of protection and rehabilitation of agriculture, forestry and water management. Estimation of radiological and economic efficiency. It describes an evaluation of environmental consequences of the Chernobyl disaster during the time of complex and controversial political and economic circumstances in the Soviet regime.

On Possible Approach to Characterizing the Buffering Capacity of Landscape with Respect to Radiocesium Contamination

Author: Frid A.S.

Keywords: buffering landscape, cesium, migration

Abstract: It is shown that migration (equally with decay) is a mechanism responsible for the buffering capacity of landscape with respect to radiocesium contamination. An approach is offered to determine the gradation of the buffering capacity and corresponding parameters of the migration models.

Regularities of the sorption behavior of actinide ions on mineral colloid particles (English available)

Author: A. Yu. Romanchuk, S. N. Kalmykov, A. P. Novikov, E. V. Zakharova

Reference: Russian Journal of General Chemistry, 2011

ISSN: 1608-3350

DOI: 10.1134/S1070363211090490

Keywords: sorption, plutonium

Abstract: It is shown that an alternative to K d in describing sorption at low degrees of surface saturation of colloid particles is pH50 which takes into account both the properties of the sorbent and sorbate. The correlations of pH50 with cation charge density for the An(III)-An(IV)-An(V)-An(VI) series and with hydrolysis constants are presented. The redox reactions with plutonium that accompany its sorption onto Fe(III) oxides are discussed.

Speciation of artificial radionuclides 60Co, 137Cs, 152Eu, and 241Am in bottom sediments of the Yenisei river (English available)

Author: L. G. Bondareva, A. Ya. Bolsunovskii

Reference: Radiochemistry, 2008

ISSN: 1608-3288

DOI: 10.1134/S1066362208050196

Keywords: bottom of river, 137cs, 60co, 152eu, 241am

Abstract: The speciation of artificial radionuclides 60Co, 137Cs, 152Eu, and 241Am in surface layers of bottom sediments of the Yenisei river, collected within the near zone of impact of the Mining and Chemical Combine (Rosatom), was studied. In these samples the radionuclides 60Co, 152Eu, and 241Am are mainly associated with fractions of humic and fulvic acids. The fraction of 152Eu associated with nonsilicate iron is approximately 92%. The migration capability of radionuclides collected near the Atamanovo settlement decreases in the order 152Eu > 241Am > 60Co > 137Cs. For samples collected near Bol’shoi Balchug settlement, this order is as follows: 152Eu ≈ 241Am > 60Co > 137Cs. The presence of radionuclide-bearing micro-particles in bottom sediments considerably complicates the distribution of radionuclides, in particular, of 241Am and 137Cs, among migration forms.
