Abstract
The error of measuring atmospheric concentrations of radionuclides cesium, strontium, krypton, and xenon in the 1010–1013 cm–3 range is estimated. Measurements were taken by differential absorption and scattering lidar with consideration of the laser radiation line width from the lidar composition during probing at distances up to 2 km. For a 25% relative error of measuring the concentration of a radionuclide at wavelength 852.1 nm, the minimum 70 m and maximum 1000 m probing paths for cesium with concentrations of 1011 and 1010 cm–3, respectively, were obtained.
