The influence of radio nuclides on the soil microbial community on the territory of the underground nuclear explosion ‛Kraton- 3’ (Yakutia)

Annotation

It was first conducted the microbiological studies of the soils in the underground nuclear explosion ‛Kraton-3’ (Yakutia). It was found that the soil area has toxicity to micro-and makroflore, inhibit seed germination, seedling development of the green part and the root system of plants. With theoretical and practical approaches, it is necessary to further study and evaluate the factual capacity of Cs137 and 90Sr in the microbial community to assess the environmental hazard or safety of radioactive waste and its possible effects on human health, animals, and, in general, the envi-ronment in the northern latitudes.
