Abstract

The scope of the paper is the current radioecological situation on the Kola Peninsula. Activity of existing enterprises in the region increases the potential danger of radioactive contamination. One of such enterprises is the ship reparation yard Nerpa specializing in the disposal of decommissioned nuclear submarines of the Russian Federation Navy since 1992. The aim of the study is to determine the degree of Nerpa influence on the environment by investigation of spatial distribution of ¹³⁷Cs in the upper soil horizons and lichens as the most reliable indicator of radioactive contamination.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
