Name of the Semicameral

from seven Buddhist temples
existing nearby
Dzungarian settlement

Slide 1

topic of work: “Semipalatinsk nuclear test site”

Completed by: 10th grade students Pashayan V. and Zevaev Sh.

Uvarovskaya secondary school I – III levels

Uvarovo, 2011

Slide 2

The Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site is the first and one of the largest nuclear test sites in the USSR, also known as “SINT” - the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site.

Slide 3

Location

The test site is located in Kazakhstan on the border of the Semipalatinsk (now East Kazakhstan), Pavlodar and Karaganda regions, 130 kilometers northwest of Semipalatinsk, on the left bank of the Irtysh River. The test site occupies 18,500 km².

Slide 4

First test nuclear weapons in the Soviet Union was held on August 29, 1949. The bomb's yield was 22 kilotons. The creation of the test site was part of the atomic project and the choice was made, as it turned out later, very successfully - the terrain made it possible to carry out underground nuclear explosions both in adits and in wells.

Slide 5

On August 12, 1953, the RDS-6s thermonuclear charge with a yield of 400 kilotons was tested at the test site.

Slide 6

On November 22, 1955, the RDS-37 thermonuclear bomb was tested at an altitude of about 2 km by dropping it from an aircraft.

Slide 7

After the entry into force of the International Treaty Banning Nuclear Tests in Three Environments (in air, space and under water), signed on October 10, 1963 in Moscow between the USSR, USA and Great Britain, only underground explosions began to be carried out at the test site.

Slide 8

Since 1945, more than 2,000 nuclear tests have been conducted around the world. Two-thirds of all Soviet tests - 468 nuclear explosions - were carried out at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site (SIP), including 125 explosions on the surface of the earth and in the air. Hundreds of thousands of residents of Altai, Central and Eastern Kazakhstan in the 50s of the twentieth century regularly observed this magnificent and terrible spectacle - huge nuclear mushrooms in the sky.

Slide 10

As a result of many years of nuclear weapons testing, a huge amount of radioactive substances was released into the atmosphere.

Slide 11

The impact of nuclear testing on the environment and Agriculture in the SIP region

The impacts of nuclear testing on the environment and agriculture are multifaceted and continue to change. The observed phenomenon can be called a “continuously threatening environmental problem” [with elements of an environmental disaster], the manifestations of which accumulate over decades, depleting local resources and, ultimately, exceeding the ability of the population to cope with them.

Slide 12

Excessive contamination with radioactive isotopes of cesium and strontium was discovered in the river. Chagan, Aschisu, Lake Balapan and other water bodies in the territory of the SIP. At least 4500 sq. km of SIP soil and hydrosphere are contaminated with these isotopes above established standards. Overall scale of pollution environment(both within and outside the boundaries of the SIP) plutonium is due to its use in tests in quantities of more than 290 kg. The contribution of its exposure to total public exposure and the associated risk is unknown.

Slide 13

Existing contamination with cesium, strontium, plutonium, and other fission products could result in significant public exposure if current and future land uses are not properly controlled. More than 10 million curies of radioactive substances are concentrated in underground cavities of nuclear explosions in the immediate vicinity (about 50 km) from the Irtysh River. There is a risk of these radionuclides migrating with groundwater towards the river. Recent isolated measurements showing elevated levels of tritium in boreholes adjacent to underground cavities confirm the existence of such movement.

Slide 14

Population health The incidence of children in these regions for 2002-2003 exceeded the republican indicators by 1.21-1.25 times and amounted to 107,584 per 100 thousand child population in the East Kazakhstan region and 120,479 in the Karaganda region - 90,235 and 103,846 in the Pavlodar region – 86602 and 103440 against the republican indicators for the indicated years of 78315 and 87619, respectively.

Slide 15

The oncological incidence of the population of the region is the highest in the republic and amounted to 1143 and 1121 per 100 thousand population in 2002-2003 in the East Kazakhstan region and 1121 in the Karaganda region - 688 and 635 in the Pavlodar region - 476 and 506 against the republican indicators for the indicated years 523 and 519 respectively.

Slide 16

The overall mortality rate in these regions remains high and amounted to 1229 and 1276 per 100 thousand population in 2002-2003 in the East Kazakhstan region and 1276 in the Karaganda region - 1237 and 1299 in the Pavlodar region - 1095 and 1152.

Slide 17

The region's water supply facilities do not meet sanitary requirements due to the lack of disinfection installations, the establishment of sanitary protection zones, and the untimely implementation of planned preventive work. At the same time, there is information about the release of radionuclides into groundwater in areas adjacent to the test site.

Slide 18

By decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev, the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site was officially closed on August 29, 1991. Today, the Republic of Kazakhstan is the first and so far the only country to voluntarily renounce nuclear weapons. However, heavily contaminated areas remained both on the territory of the landfill and in some nearby regions.
