Abstract

This article is dedicated to analysis of the modern radioecological situation at the site of the Globus-1 peaceful nuclear explosion in the Ivanovo region. The variability of the ionizing radiation background, specific activity of 137Cs and 90Sr in the 0–20 cm soil layer, and dominant species of meadow vegetation near the site of the explosion are presented. Higher levels of 90Sr contamination of plants in this territory and water from a research well were determined. The indices of contamination of the meadow biogeocoenosis components according to 137Cs did not exceed the established norms.
