Summary:Using the Chernobyl exclusion zone as an example, by means of GIS and statistical methods, the crucial role of natural and man-made features of the landscape in the formation of a radiactive secondary contamination of the surface water, the volume of radionuclides ( super(90)Sr) carried out by water, and the barrier resistance of watersheds are proved. Methodology for assessing the barrier stability and modeling the scenarios of its strengthening to minimize the entrainment of radionuclides by water beyond exclusion zones is presented.
