For the first time the complex investigations on study of radioactive contamination in ground water at the underground nuclear explosion sites were carried out at the Semipalatinsk Test Site. Definition of the radioactive contamination aureoles of the basic water-bearing horizon located within the exogenous rocks fracturing area is based on the proper analysis of the experimental data on the biologically hazardous radionuclides content. Data on the current radionuclide activity in water-bearing horizon can be used for the retrospective analysis of the radioactive contamination of geological environment.
