Abstract:
The article presents the field study results on monitoring the radioecological status of the dumped nuclear submarine (NS) K-27, as well as the area of its dumping. It provides current data on the state of the NS hull and the radiation situation near the NS and on its hull, which can be used to predict the radiation situation at the dumping site.
