abstract = "The article presents results of field studies at a site of radioactive waste storage and disposal facilities (the so-called LD RosRAO site, Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad region, Russia). The objective of the study is to overview the history and occurrence of groundwater contamination to answer the question whether the radioactive plume is historical (formed due to accidents, which happened at the beginning of the operations with the radioactive waste) or the release of radioactive solutions to groundwater is still occurring. The main method used to study the evolution of radioactive contamination is to analyze long-term observations of tritium, total alpha, and total beta activities in groundwater samples. The role of the hydrogeological conditions of the site, such as flow parameters, groundwater flow pattern, inter-aquifer downward groundwater leakage, and water-table fluctuations, in the evolution of contamination plumes has also been analyzed. In the field investigations, the integrity of the storage buildings to potential leaks was confirmed by different indirect methods. It was concluded that there is currently no significant release of radioactive components into groundwater at the LD RosRAO site and that the present conditions correspond to the stage of rehabilitation of the groundwater environment.",
