TRACK DETECTORS IN RADIATION MONITORING OF THE SUNKEN SUBMARINE KOMSOMOLETS

Track method (using the CN and CR-39 detectors, spark counter of track s as well as selective sorbents for plutonium and uranium) is applied in 1994 and 1995 together with many other methods in radioecological m onitoring of water in the region of the sunken nuclear submarine (NS) ''Komsomolets''. The detection assemblies were installed with the help of the submersibles MIR. The results obtained both inside the NS and on its surface as well as near it and on the remote buoy station do no t contradict the data obtained by other methods confirming the absence of the plutonium leakage outside of the submarine.
