Abstract

Siberian Chemical Enterprises (SCE), located 15 km from the city of Tomsk downstream the Tom river, has been put into operation in 1953 and has become one of the main uranium and plutonium production facilities in the world. In this paper the results are repoted on the concentrations of uranium-234, uranium-235 and uranium-238 in soil near the SCE. Experimental results on uranium isotopes determination in soil around the SCE on-site and off-site are discussed.
