Abstract

The article studies a process of migration of radionuclides from a nuclear power plant to the biological system of ponds and then to a cooling pond. We consider modeling of radionuclide migration in the system of biological ponds on the example of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant using the method of box models. As basis we have taken a typical water ecosystem, which consists of three chambers: water, biota and bottom sediments. A dynamic chamber model of radionuclide migration in the biological ponds of the nuclear power plant was developed, which allows predicting the dynamics of water pollution with radionuclides according to the limited data on ecosystem monitoring. We have modeled the parameters of the radioecological system capacity of biological and cooling ponds of the nuclear power plant. We have estimated and predicted the distribution and accumulation of radionuclide concentration in the biological system of ponds of the nuclear power plant. The article shows the importance of water, biomass and sediments in deposition of radionuclides
