CURRENT LEVEL OF TRITIUM CONCENTRATIONS IN THE RIVER TECHA AND IN DRINKING WATER SOURCES IN COASTAL AREAS

Margarita Chebotina, Oleg Nikolin, Lydia Bondareva

Abstract :

 The paper gives presents data on the current levels of tritium concentrations in the water of the Techariver and in the 

drinking water in the settlements located in the coastal zone. It is shown that the delivery water entering water pumps 
from deep wells contains more radionuclide than the water from less shallower personal wells, boreholes and springs. 
The observed increased tritium content in the delivery water from deep wells is obviously due to the fact that the bed of the Techa is located in the 
earth crust eak zone along which the contaminated water penetrates from the industrial reservoirs of the enterprise “Mayak”, located in the 
upper part of the regulated river bed.
