Accidents in the field of civil engineering are varied. Of the 81 civilian underground nuclear explosions (PUNE – Peaceful Underground Nuclear Explosions) carried out by the Soviets from 1965 to 1988, four (Globus-1, Taiga, Crystal and Kraton-3) resulted in accidents with long-term environmental contamination. The most dramatic and severe is the “Kraton-3” carried out in 1978 near the Arctic Circle (65.9°N, 112.3°E) in Yakutia (Republic of Sakha). Two radionuclides (¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr) were particularly monitored in the environment, particularly in plants [RAM 09].
