Artificial (90Sr, 137Cs) and Natural (40K, 232Th and 238U) Radionuclides in the Dnieper Water of the North Crimean Canal and the Irrigated Agricultural Lands along It (2022–2023)

Based on the results of the 2022–2023 studies, the radioecological state of the aquatic ecosystem of the North Crimean Canal (NCC) was assessed in terms of long-lived artificial (90Sr, 137Cs) and natural (40K, 238U, 232Th) radionuclides. The role of Dnieper water, which again entered Crimea along the NCC bed in 2022, in the transfer of technogenic and natural radionuclides to irrigated agricultural lands in this region was also studied. Standard methods of radiochemical sample processing, as wel
