RESUMO
Speciation of tritium (3Ð) in soils from the "Balapan" site in Semipalatinsk are presented in this study. Three interrelated objects were chosen for further study: "Atomic" lake, the Shagan River and an external reservoir. The main speciation forms of 3Ð in soil were: 3Ð in surface-adsorbed water, 3Ð in interlayer water, hydroxylic 3Ð, organically bound 3Ð and crystalline-bound 3Ð. Results will allow an estimation of contamination mechanism to be made, and will also allow the potential for migration and bioavailability of 3Ð to be assessed.
