Abstract:The paper presents results calculated for radiation exposure of plants (aquatic, aero-aquatic and coastal) growing at man-made and naturally occurring water bodies at the Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS). The peak overall exposure dose rate was 0.078 mGy/day for coastal plants of man-made water bodies that resulted from off-normal situations during underground nuclear tests. As part of the conservative assessment, the peak overall exposure dose rate was 1.3 mGy/day for aquatic plants of man-made water bodies that… Show more
