Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article describes the reasons for reduction of radiation at Semipalatinsk nuclear test site: first period half-life of a radioactive isotope. Currently, the level of radiation at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site composes from 6 to 20 micro-roentgen per hour. Only at some points the radiation level higher than the plains. In this regard, our aim is to clarify the cause of the reduction of radiation and space distribution of nuclear residues at Semipalatinsk nuclear test site. Second is radionuclide flushing with water, soaking with soil, picking up ground water. Counting the number of flushing water depends rainfall in the warm season. Third is influence of organisms in order to reduce radiation. The plants and animals actively participate to reduce radiation. The plant gives a lot of biological products. The study used methods: general scientific, cartographic method, comparative, quantitative mass spectrometry.
