Abstract
The level of radioactive contamination and the distribution of radionuclide s in the soil were studied in the Karabolka River floodplain, which was con taminated because of horizontal radionuclide migration from the Eastern Ura l Radioactive Trace and wind transfer from the banks of an industrial waste reservoir. The amount of Sr-90 transported by the Karabolka River into the Sinara River was calculated for the entire period since the beginning of c ontamination.
