Abstract: Observed significant increase of migration properties of uranium from groundwater happens when pH rises above 9 - 10 against significant increases in the concentrations of major ions: Na+, K+, ÑÎ32-, NO2-, NO3-. Herewith, strongly alkaline reducing or transitional environment in groundwater is formed.

Keywords: industrial site of ChNPP, underground waters, fuel uranium, plutonium, pH, major ions, raised migration.
