Year: 2019

The concentration of the technogenic radionuclide 137Cs was studied in different groups of salt lakes of Crimean Peninsula. It was established that one of the major sources of 137Cs input in them is the North Crimean Canal, which, up to 2014, had been delivering the Dnieper water with a high concentration of radionuclides of Chernobyl origin. Another source of 137Cs inflow is Black Sea water through its drainage and direct interaction with the coastal salt lakes of Crimea, in which a positive co
