Abstract. Objective of the work is to assess content of heavy metals and accompanying elements on the surface of the Baza S uranium-ore storage site and Sukhachevskoye uranium tailings storage site. With the help of IRIS Intrepid II ICP atomic-emission spectrometer, content of heavy metals As; Cd; Pb; Se; Zn; B; Co; Cr; Cu; Ni; Sb; Al; Ba; Mn; Sr; V and accompanying elements was measured. Correlation between radionuclide specific activity and metal concentration in soil of the Baza S uranium-ore storage site was established.

Keywords: uranium tailings storage site, uranium-ore storage site, radionuclides, soil, heavy metals, movable form.
