ECOLOGICAL-GEOCHEMICAL PATTERNS OF NORTHERN EUROPEAN RUSSIA

Abstract

The arrangement and activity of plants in northern Russia that use atomic energy for the solution of economic and defense tasks has resulted in the pollution of the environment by technogenic radionuclides in some areas of this region. In order to develop measures for providing radioecological safety of the region and predicting the behavior of artificial radionuclides in case of emergencies at sites with potentially hazardous radiation, it is necessary to define the constraints of the distribution of radionuclides in tundra and northern taiga ecosystems characteristic of the northern part of the country.
