Radiation-hygienic characteristic of the protected zones of peaceful nuclear explosions in the Arkhangelsk region
The article presents data on the radiation situation on the territories of the protected zones of peaceful nuclear explosions «Globus-2», «Agat» and «Rubin-1» based on the results of field studies in 2020. Peaceful nuclear explosions were conducted in the Arkhangelsk region for seismic exploration....

The article presents data on the radiation situation on the territories of the protected zones of peaceful nuclear explosions «Globus-2», «Agat» and «Rubin-1» based on the results of field studies in 2020. Peaceful nuclear explosions were conducted in the Arkhangelsk region for seismic exploration. The results of the radiation-hygienic state of protected zones and radiation safety in the territories adjacent to peaceful nuclear explosions are analyzed by the main indicators: the values of the ambient dose equivalent of gamma radiation, the identification of gamma-emitting radionuclides in situ by field gamma spectrometry, the specific activity of technogenic radionuclides in the soil and tritium in the water of reservoirs and drinking water sources. An assessment of the sanitary condition of the studied territories of protected zones of peaceful nuclear explosions is given. It was found that the levels of the ambient dose equivalent rate of the gamma radiation at all sites are at the level of fluctuations in the natural regional radiation background in the range of 0.08-0.20 microSv/h. On the territory of the protected zone of the peaceful nuclear explosion «Globus-2» were repeatedly identified areas of minor local soil contamination with 137Cs (the previous study was performed in 2011).
