Evaluation of Radionuclide Emission into the Environment in the Case of the Accident on the Sunken Nuclear Submarine B-159

Variants of a hypothetical accident that includes the occurrence of a spontaneous chain reaction are examined. The pathways and intensity of radionuclide emission from a nuclear submarine into seawater are determined. The 137Cs accumulation at the time of sinking is determined more accurately. The average and maximum 137Cs emission for use in predicting the contamination of the marine environment in application to the object under study are determined.
