Copyright to STS Database

National Nuclear Center of RK received State Registration Certificate for the copyright object – Database on “Radioecological State of Semipalatinsk Test Site”.

For the current moment NNC RK accumulated a huge amount of information on the former Semipalatinsk Test Site – this is a result of scientific and research programs, commercial projects, implemented by different organizations.

Application of geoinformation systems to solve problems associated with storage, timely access and data processing efficiency, as well as realization of integrated studies at STS, is the most efficient. And as a consequence, members have developed Database for inspection results storage, that involved unique information on general, gamma-spectrometric, radiochemical, chemical characteristics of samples collected, and other types of analysis. Database enables to assess both radioecological situation at the territory and perform number of monitoring functions.

“As of today database includes information accumulated from 1997 till 2018 and data volume continues to increase. Created database is a high-powered informational basis for monitoring of radioecological situation at the territory of STS and further zoning of the territory with the purpose to evaluate the possibility to transfer lands of the former Semipalatinsk Test Site into the national economic cycle”, - said Erlan Batyrbekov, Director General of NNC RK.
