AMAP’s geographical coverage

The AMAP monitoring and assessment programme
• An Assessment Strategy– Assessment Steering Committee. – Lead Countries, e.g. POPs Canada & Sweden.
• A Monitoring Programme – Specification of what to be sampled, methodologies for how to
store, analyse and report.
• A QA/QC Programme • Five Thematic Data Centres• National Implementation Plans (NIPs), e.g. NCP • Special projects e.g. the RAIPON/AMAP/GEF PTS
project in Russia• AMAP Project Directory (AMAP PD)

Main sources for past and present radioactive contamination of the Arctic
Three major sources:– Fallout from atmospheric
testing of nuclear weapons– Routine releases from
western European reprocessing plants
– Fallout from the Chernobyl accident
![Page 9: Http:// AMAP - An international cooperation in far northern conditions Yuri Tsaturov - Roshydromet & Morten Sickel – Norwegian Radiation Protection](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ea75503460f94ba9654/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
http://www.amap.no
Other sources of radioactive contamination
– Dumping of nuclear waste in the Barents and Kara Seas
– Nuclear weapons accident in Thule, Greenland– Local contamination from nuclear weapons tests at
Novaya Zemlya– Reprocessing plants in the Urals and Siberia (e.g.
Mayak)– Civilian use of nuclear explosions– Operation of military and civilian nuclear reactors– Waste handling and storageLocal importance

Present situation
• Regional scale– Generally, levels of radioactive contamination are
mainly low and declining
• ”Semi” regional– Increasing levels of some radionuclides due to
increased releases from European reprocessing plants
• Local– Some areas are seriously contaminated

Future situation
• Existing risk for new accident giving rise to local or regional concequences
