The beta radiation background in Volga River and the cooling pond of the plant was within norm – 0.035 Bq/l and 0.179 Bq/l, respectively. The content of caesium-137 in Volga was 0.012 Bq/l, in the cooling pond – 11 BQ/l. The content of potassium-40 in Volga was 0.04 Bq/l, in the cooling pond – 22 Bq/l/

The gamma radiation background was within safe 0.07–01 mSv/h.
