The studies of bottom sediments of the Yenisei River from 2006 to 2016 near the Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC) and at a distance of up to 250 km from it downriver revealed an increased content of the radionuclide 60 Co (including radioactive microparticles) in the upper layers. The specific activ...
