Abstract

The paper is dedicated to the issues of ecological monitoring management at the location site of the branch of the JSC “The Rosenergoatom Concern” “The Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant”. The purpose of monitoring the environmental objects is to assess their current state, compare the results with the data of the long-term observations and quality standards of natural objects.

This article considers the impact of the Novovoronezh NPP on the following components of the environment: natural surface waters and bottom sediments of the Don River and the cooling reservoir, atmospheric air and soil cover in the area of the plant location. To assess the condition of the above components in 2016 with the use of a certified laboratory, the samples were taken and a quantitative chemical analysis was made for the content of the pollutants in them.

Based on the analysis of the laboratory studies, it was concluded that the state of the environment in the area of the Novovoronezh NPP location meets all applicable sanitary and environmental standards. Monitoring the results points to the absence of any man-caused load from the Novovoronezh NPP and the Novovoronezh NPP-2.
