Behaviour of 110mAg and 103,106Ru in the environment after the Chernobyl accident

The contamination from radionuclides originated from the Chernobyl accident in the processes of copper and noble metal production from the ore of open cut mining was investigated. Presence of 110mAg and 103,106Ru in copper roast and subsequent products was found having constant ratio 110mAg/106Ru (4.0 ± 1.2) × 10−2. A model of the transport mechanism of radionuclides as well as the value of contamination were considered.
