Abstract
Statistical analysis of collected data revealed priority factors affecting radionuclide migration in water. Considerable changes in the coefficients of correlations between the many-year values of those factors and the water export of 90Sr make it possible to identify the stages associated with a mass passage of primary 90Sr inputs into water-soluble forms. The landscape characteristics of drainage basins were used to construct regression forecast models of the export of pollutants from watersheds.
