Radioecological State of the Agrosphere in the 30-km Zone of the Siberian Chemical Combine During the Pre-Startup Period of a Prototype Power Complex

Abstract

The results of radioecological monitoring of agricultural activities within the 30-km impact zone of the Siberian Chemical Combine are examined. The surface activity of ¹³⁷Cs in soil and the specific activity of ¹³⁷Cs in plants with similar indicators characteristic for NPP sites are analyzed and compared. The obtained data make it possible to evaluate the impact of a prototype electric power complex (PEPC) on the soil-and-vegetation cover and the products of agricultural activity, since the data make it possible to differentiate information on two basic parts – that associated with the activity of the Combine, on the one hand, and the other with the possible contribution of PEPC, on the other.
