Abstract

The Lake Karachai site plays a unique role in the advancement of knowledge of the subsurface behavior and fate of many hazardous radionuclides. It is located within one of the South Ural provinces in Russian Federation (Drozhko and Glagolenko 1997; Drozhko et al. 1997a, b, c; Petrov et al. 1994; Solodov et al. 1994, 2005). The site is connected with Mayak Amalgamated Industry (MAI), a plant, producing radioactive materials for military and civil needs.
