For the first time, a GIS project for radiation and environmental monitoring of terrestrial ecosystems was developed for the territory of the 30-km observation zone of the Rostov NPP. It was based on the information on the composition and concentrations of radionuclides and heavy metals in soil, vegetation and agricultural products of the studied region compiled over 18 years. Electronic maps have been developed to create a GIS project. They included the location of control sites and control points of the radiation-ecological monitoring network; location of control points for the survey of agricultural and natural terrestrial ecosystems; distribution of specific activity values for artificial (90Sr, 137Cs) and natural (40K, 226Ra, 232Th) radionuclides in environmental objects; distribution of ambient dose equivalent rate values; content of heavy metals with hazard classes 1-3 (Cd, Zn, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, Mo, Cr, Mn, Fe) in the soils of the Rostov NPP region. The created GIS project of radioecological monitoring and the corresponding data banks will be used to collect, store and analyse the results of the survey in order to assess the potential impact of the Rostov NPP on the members of the public and the environment.
