Based on the results of research conducted in 2022-2023, the radioecological state of the aquatic ecosystem of the North Crimean Canal (NCC) was assessed in relation to long-lived artificial (Sr, Cs) and natural (K, U, Th) radionuclides. The role of Dnieper water, which was re-supplied to Crimea in 2022 via the NCC, in the transfer of artificial and natural radionuclides to irrigated agricultural land in this region was also studied. Standard methods of radiochemical processing of samples, as we
