Evaluation of the long-range tritium migration from the cavity of the Kristall underground nuclear explosion

Resumo

The tritium concentration in water samples taken in Yakutsk, Udachnyi town, some rivers, and drainage brines of the Udachnaya diamond-bearing pipe was determined. The tritium concentration in drainage brines of the Udachnaya diamond-bearing pipe virtually coincides with the background values. The study performed shows that there is no tritium migration from the cavity of the Kristall underground nuclear explosion to drainage brines of the Udachnaya diamond-bearing pipe.
