Abstract: Problems of radioecological safety of freshwater reservoirs contaminated with ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr concerning the scenario of fish breeding, fishery and unprofessional anglers activity at the late phase of ChNPP accident has been considered. Generalized statistical dependences of equilibrium accumulation coefficients of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr depending on Calcium concentration in water reservoirs were shown. Methodology of estimation of radioecological safety of freshwater reservoirs as the source of fish for human diet was proposed, its practical realization was tested.

Keywords: ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr content in fish and water, accumulation coefficients, radioecological safety of freshwater reservoirs.
