Reassessment of groundwater quality of Nizhnekotlinskiy aquifer complex by radiation indicators

Article preview

The work focuses on reassessment of groundwater quality of the Lower Kotlin aquifer complex by radiation indicators. At the first stage of the research the area radio-hydrochemical sampling of the aquifer complex was carried out with determination of 222Rn content, as well as indicators of total α- and β-activity. At the second stage, underground water in a limited number of sampling points was identified for radioactive isotopes: 211Ro, 210Rb, 226Ra, 228Ra, 222Rn. The radiation safety index was calculated. Directions for further research are proposed.
