Baku. Kamala Guliyeva - APA. "Azerbaijani transboundary waters don't
contain traces of Armenia's nuclear power plant or Georgian nuclear
research reactor", Director of Radiation Problems Institute of the
Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences Adil Garibov said at the 4th
International Conference on Prospects of Peaceful Nuclear Energy,
APA reports.
Garibov said his institute together with the International Atomic
Energy Agency conducted joint expeditions for examination of
radioactive nuclides in waters and bottom of the Azerbaijani sector
of the Caspian Sea. "The transboundary waters are mostly polluted
with chemical emissions. This is a serious problem. We discussed
this problem with the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and
addressed some local and international organizations on this issue".
Garibov said radioactive environment of the sea was in a background
level. "The sea waters contain mostly natural radioactive substances,
but there are not artificial radioactive nuclides. We feared of
radioactive emissions from Russia's Astrakhan oblast. But the situation
is normal".
