ABSTRACT

Purpose: To obtain data on the radiation situation around JSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard after completion of the main stage of nuclear submarine Decommissioning & Dismantlement (D&D) operations.

Material and methods: For the purpose of the radiation survey around JSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard we used methods of foot gamma shooting, gamma-spectrometric measurements of radionuclides in the environmental media using stationary gamma spectrometer, radiochemical separation of radionuclides, followed by radiometric measurement of the radionuclide activity.

Results: The survey was carried out in 2011-2012. The received results include: gamma dose rates in the area of Bolshoy Kamen city and in its vicinity; specific activities of radionuclides in soil and foodstuffs; and radionuclide concentrations in the marine environmental media (such as seaweeds, bottom sediments, marine fish) of the coastal water area of BolshoyKamen, Sukhodol and Andreyeva Bays.

Conclusions: Significant impact of nuclear submarines’ D&D operations on the radiation situation within the territory in the area of JSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard is not revealed.

Key words:nuclear submarines, recycle, radiation examination, gamma radiation, the specific activity
