Currently, due to the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons there is a highly topical issue of an accurate verification of nuclear explosion venues. This paper proposes to consider new method for verification by using tritium as an indicator. Detailed studies of the tritium content in the air were carried in the locations of underground nuclear tests - "Balapan" and "Degelen" testing sites located in Semipalatinsk Test Site. The paper presents data on the levels and distribution of tritium in the air where tunnels and boreholes are located - explosion epicentres, wellheads and tunnel portals, as well as in estuarine areas of the venues for the underground nuclear explosions (UNE).
目前，由于《不扩散核武器条约》的存在，核爆炸地点的精确核查成为一个非常热门的话题。本文提出考虑使用氚作为指示剂的新验证方法。在塞米巴拉金斯克试验场的“巴尔帕兰”和“德格伦”地下核试验场的地点，对空气中的氚含量进行了详细研究。本文介绍了位于爆炸中心、井口和隧道门户以及地下核爆炸场地的河口地区的空气中氚含量和分布的数据。
