Abstract: | The present-day levels of 137Cs global fallout in frozen soils of the tundra and taiga zones of Yakutia are analyzed in the paper. Patterns of radionuclide migration in different types of zonal soils have been considered. Influence of the frozen forms of micro- and mesorelief over redistribution of 137Cs in soils is investigated. Mean velocities of vertical 137Cs migration in the main types of the frozen soils have been determined. We have found that mean velocity of 137Cs vertical migration in soil profiles depends on water condition and texture of soils. |
