Radioecological Researches in Technogenic Areas of Issyk-Kul Region

Abstract

The results of radioecological studies of the assessment of the territory of the Kaji-Sai uranium tailings in the Issyk-Kul region are presented. It is established that the growth of plants in conditions of an increased radiation background leads to a morphological variability of vegetative and generative organs, an increase in the level of chromosomal aberrations.


Keywords: radiation background, tailings, plants, chromosomal aberrations
