AbstractAbstract
[en] A survey on tritium concentration in surface (stream and river) waters and air samples from the environment of Kaiga Generating Station has been carried out. Tritium concentrations in stream water of Kaiga region varied in the range <1.9-10.3 Bq L-1 with a geometric mean value of 3.9 Bq L-1. The concentration of this radionuclide varied in the range <1.9-53.7 Bq L-1 with a geometric mean value of 22.0 Bq L-1 in the water samples collected from the Kadra reservoir. However, the concentration reduced to below minimum detection levels when reservoir water was released back to the river. The mean value of tritium concentration in air samples was 0.09 Bq m-3.
