Abstract:

The basic results of the cooperative Russian-Norwegian investigations concerning the radioactive contamination of the Western Arctic seas under the local sources effect are discussed in the article. The common operations of the Russian and Norwegian experts in this area began in 1992 within the framework of cooperation in the field of the environmental protection in view of both sides concern of possible effects of radioactive waste (RW) discharge and disposal in the Arctic seas. The cooperative Russian-Norwegian Expert Group involved in the investigation of the Northern areas radioactive contamination was established to coordinate the works. In 1992 this Group carried out the first common marine expedition to study the radioactive contamination of the Kara and the Barents Seas; there were two common expeditions at RW disposal areas on the Kara Sea in 1993-1994. Hereafter the scope of cooperative expert group activity was extended in the on-shore radiation dangerous facilities effect on the water radioactive contamination, particularly (common study of Atomflot water area in Kola Bay in 1998) and cooperative monitoring under emergency situations (monitoring of possible radiation contamination of the Barents Sea at the area of Kursk NPS wreck in connection with her raising in 2001). From 2006 till the present time the works concerning «The Study of Radioactive Contamination of the Barents Sea Water» cooperative monitoring project are being carried out by Rosgidromet and the Norwegian Radioactive Protection Agency (NRPA).
