Detailed radioecological studies of common pine needles and bilberry leaves at the stationary monitoring network sites located in a 30-km zone of the Kola nuclear power plant were conducted. Gamma-spectrometric measurement of specific activities of technogenic radionuclides 137Cs were taken in these plants. This radionuclide is one of the major components of radioactive pollution of the biosphere. Potential sources of the radionuclide intake into the needles and leaves of the tested plants were traced. For the first time a welfare analysis of phytocenosis at these sites according to satellite remote sensing data was carried out. Each monitoring site was observed from the space during the season on 6 certain stages on average. Data of Landsat 7 and 8 were used. A generalized empirical indicator of radioactivity of phytomass was constructed. This parameter is used to get a possibility to objectively compare the ground radiological measurements and remote sensing data. This indicator considers the projective cover of the pine and bilberry and radioactivity value of their needles and leaves. Considerable correlation between the received parameters was revealed. Presence of a gradient characterizing the environmental condition in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant location was found.
Keywords: Kola nuclear power plant, phytocenosis, radiological studies, specific activity, remote sensing
