The fauna of Bivalvia of the cooling pond of the Chernobyl NPS was investigated. The storage of mollusks, and also the storage of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr accumulated by these animals, was determined. The capacity of mollusks for accumulation and filtration is of considerable importance in the processes of accumulation of radionuclides in bottom sediments. The process of redistribution of radionuclides in bottom sediments is discussed.
