      Empirical data on the behavior of radionuclides in aquatic ecosystems are needed for radioecological modeling, which is commonly used for predicting transfer of radionuclides, estimating doses, and assessing possible adverse effects on species and communities. Preliminary studies of radioecological parameters including distribution coefficients and concentration ratios, for 90Sr and 137Cs were not ...
    • The radiation exposure of fish in the period of the Techa river peak contamination 

      Shishkina, Elena A.; Pryakhin, Evgeny A.; Sharagin, Pavel A.; Osipov, D.I.; Tryapitsina, Galina A.; Atamanyuk, Natalia I.; Egoreichenkov, E.A.; Trapeznikov, A.V.; Rudolfsen, G.; Teien, H.C.; Sneve, M.K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-10)
      Waterborne radioactive releases into the Techa River from the Mayak Production Association in Russia during 1949–1956 resulted in downstream contamination of the river ecosystem. The discharged liquid waste contained both short-lived isotopes (95Zr, 95Nb, 103,106Ru, 141,144Ce, 91Y, 89Sr and 140Ba with half-life from 3 days to 1.02 years) and the long-lived 90Sr and 137Cs (half-life - 28.79 y and ...
