Radioecological study of the irrigation system of the Northern-Crimean Canal (NCC) was carried out to assess its role in the transport of the Chernobyl-originated long-lived radionuclides to the Karkinitsky Bay in the Black Sea north-western part. For this study, five main stations were selected and disposed along the NCC mainstream at the distances 0, 28, 84, 125 and 150 km. Two local polygons in the Krasnoperekopskiy and Razdolnenskiy regions of the Crimea were chosen as the model objects to a
