Model reconstruction of 90Sr concentrations in fish from 16 Ural lakes contaminated by the Kyshtym accident of 1957.
The paper outlines the results of the ECOMOD model application to simulate 90Sr dynamics in fish dwelling in Southern Ural lakes and contaminated as a result of the Kyshtym accident. The detailed reconstruction of 90Sr behavior in fish for the 40-year period (1957-1997) was made for the most contaminated lakes (Uruskul and Berdenish). The adapted ECOMOD model was applied for the other 14 Ural lakes to explain the peculiarities in 90Sr accumulation by fish in lakes with different concentrations of Ca2+ ions in lake water.
