Studies cover 12 sites at a distance different from NPP. With the help of Gama spectrometer, the Heather family, algae and shrubs of 164.8 BK/kg one or higher in the plants of the Heather family, was recorded according to the center of Russia.
Suddenly, the background areas, 30 km away from the station, turned out to have higher radiation levels than the sanitary protection zone. Scientists explain this, not by the influence of nuclear power plants, but after the loss of global radionuclide, mainly after the nuclear tests of the 1960s and the Chernobyl accident.
An important role is played by the properties of the soil: the low content of organic and nutrients in podzolic soils increases the mobility of the cesium and the penetration of the plant. This creates the risk of radionuclide entering food chains from plants to animals, and may have long -term results for the ecosystems of Northern Tayiga.
