Vater 385 Author Index 387 Subject Index 389 PREFACE This volume entitled "Radionuclides and Heavy Metals in Environment" contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) "Monitoring of Natural and Man-Made Radionuclides and Heavy Metal Waste in Environment" that was held at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JlNR), Dubna, Russia from 3 October to 6 October, 2000. Originally, it was planned to held the ARW in 1999, the year when NATO was celebrating its 50th anniversary. Few days before opening it had to be postponed because of problems in issuing visa for all the colleagues who intended to participate. The ARW was organized and conducted by the co-directors Prof. Vladimir P. Perelygin, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia and Dr. Peter Vater, Philipps Universitat, Marburg, Germany. The JlNR was chosen as the host institute of ARW because of the lack of contact and real co-operation between the former Soviet Union (FSU) countries specialists in ecology and their Western well experienced colleagues. The selection of this location and supplementary funds provided by Russian Foundation on Basic Research, Moscow, Russia, and the JINR, Dubna., Russia made it possible to attain a rather large number of participants and observers from FSU countries. The JlNR provided to all the participants of the workshop an effective car/minibus transportation Moscow-Dubna-Moscow and a rather good accommodation in Dubna. In total 43 official ARW participants and about 40 observers had submitted 80 contributions, including 47 oral and 33 poster presentations at 12 plenary and two posters sessions. Two round-table discussions were conducted, too. The NATO ARW was addressed to the critical problems of abundance and accumulation of man-made radionuclides (in particular, plutonium) and heavy metals in the environment and their inevitable negative influence on human health. It ftrstly brought together specialists who use different methods and different approaches to these urgent environmental problems which are of great international importance. The program of the NATO ARW covered four main topics, the papers in this volume are arranged, accordingly. First. About 20 communications dealt with the problem of growing abundance of man-made radionuclides in environment, in particular weapon and reactor Pu and also Am. The contributions include diverse methods of high-sensitive analysis of artiftcial radionuclides (in particular Pu and Am), such as accelerator mass spectrometry, combined neutron-ganuna activation and luminescence analysis. The results on high-sensitive determinations of Pu, Np and Am content in samples taken from the Chernobyl, Chelyabinsk, Semipalatinsk hot spots and also from more quiet regions of Poland, Russia and North Belarus were presented, too. xi
