Abstract
The authors performed a radioecological investigation (gamma backgroun d, contents of radionuclides in links of a specific northern food chai n, dose loads on people) on the Yamal Peninsula. It was established th at the radiation situation on the peninsula is typical of the Extreme North, and of arctic regions of Scandinavia and North America. The dat a obtained do not indicate additional (besides global) radioactive con tamination of the territory.
