Geophysical problems of krypton-85 in the atmosphere
Description
The circulation of the inert gas krypton-85, penetrating into or gebnerating in the atmosphere as a result of natural as well as artificial processes (operation of the nuclear fuel cycle industry) has been studied Krypton-85 is abundant in the Rarth atmosphere and penetrates into its geospheres: hydro-, litho- and biosphere. Due to the development of the nuclear power industry kryptn-85 accumulates continuously in the air what causes the surface and especially near water atmosphere ionization increase. While the increase of the krypton-85 concentration there will not effect the biological world of Earth and man, it may start influence the geophysical processes, taking place in the atmosphere, that will lead to the precipitation redistribution, the Earth planetary electric charge decrease, the changes of the Earth magnetic field, etc. This proves the necessity of the non-living nature dosimetry
