Key Points

Anomalous enrichment of uranium at 15–20 ppm was found in bottom sediments of Lake Baikal, indicating environmental impact.
Distinct disequilibrium in isotopes of 238U was observed, affecting the interplay between bottom sediment and water.
Investigation focused on radionuclides, isotopes, and their distribution patterns in the lake's ecosystem.
Findings highlight concerns over technogenic radionuclides due to nuclear tests affecting sediment layers.

Implication

Analysis reveals uneven distribution of uranium and thorium isotopes in Lake Baikal sediments, suggesting nuclear test impact.
