Year: 2025

This review addresses the intake, distribution, and bioaccumulation of the short-lived radionuclides 95Zr, 95Nb, 103Ru, and 106Ru in aquatic ecosystems before and after the 1986 accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Particular attention is given to a detailed analysis of these processes in fish belonging to different ecological groups, as well as in their various organs and tissues. Observational data indicate that 95Zr and 95Nb predominantly accumulate in external organs, with comparat
