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.

TECHNOGENIC RADIONUCLIDES WITHIN THE FLOODPLAINS OF THE TECHA RIVER AND THE MIDDLE COURSES OF THE YENISEI RIVER

 

Author:  Linnik V.G.

Reference: Bulletin of Moscow University series: Geography, 2011

ISSN: 0579-9414

DOI: 911.52; 574:539.1.04; 550.47

Keywords: river, 137cs, bottom sediments, floodplain area, soil

Abstract: The article analyzes 137Cs contamination of floodplain sediments of the Techa River and the middle courses of the Yenisei River as a result of discharges from the nuclear fuel plants. The results of field studies, both radiometric survey and sampling, are analyzed. The landscape differentiation of 137Cs contamination depends on specific features of suspended matter deposition on the floodplains. A secondary contamination zone was identified for the Techa River (up to 0,7 m) which was formed due to erosion of alluvial soils in the Asanov bogs and subsequent transfer of bottom sediments. Correlation between radionuclide contamination and duration of inundation for particular floodplain segments during 1960-2000 was analyzed for the Balchug floodplain area (the Yenisei River).
