“…Environmental compartments were previously revealed to have the elevated content of man-made radionuclides in the vicinity of the Shagan riv. in soil, bottom sediments and plants as well as their contamination mechanisms identified (Timonova al., 2020). Underflow waters flowing out of the «Atomic lake» and passing though radioactively contaminated soils in the dump were found to be a contamination source of surface waters of the Shagan riv.…”

“…For instance, as a result of numerous tests conducted at the Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS), significant concentrations of 3 H are currently also registered in environmental compartments. This radionuclide was detected close to locations of nuclear explosions in surface and ground waters [ 4 , 5 ], air [ 6 – 10 ], plants [ 11 13 ], soil [ 14 18 ] and snow cover [ 19 ].…”

“…Long-lived radionuclides were developed from the excavation explosion, which concentrated in the soils surrounding the 'Atomic Lake' [17]. The specific activity of induced radionuclides is 4 000 Bq/kg at 241 Am, 15 000 Bq/kg at 137 Cs, 17 000 Bq/kg at 239+240 Pu, 10 000 Bq/kg at 90 Sr, 65 000 Bq/kg at 3 H, 20 000 Bq/kg at 152 Eu, and 13 000 Bq/kg at 154 Eu [18].…”
