Ap. Kuznetsov et al., RADIONUCLIDES IN THE BENTHOFAUNA OF THE R EGION OF LOCATION OF THE NUCLEAR SUBMARINE KOMSOMOLETS IN THE NORWEGIAN SEA, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (4), 1996, pp. 467-471
Analysis of the content of radionuclides Cs-137 and Sr-90 in the benth
ofauna was carried out in the region of location of the nuclear submar
ine Komsomolets according. to the materials of the 33rd voyage of RV A
kademik Mstislav Keldysh (1994). No significant excess of the technoge
nic activity over the natural radioactivity was found in all ecologica
l (trophic) groups of bottom animals. At the same time the content of
Sr-90 in the fauna of stations closer to the submarine was higher than
at more remote stations.
