Abstract

The uranium content of the thermal waters in the Chepino valley was determined in a period of increased seismic activity. Significant changes in the uranium concentration, much above the normal background values were established. In one group of water sources a well-expressed synchrony in the uranium content variations is observed and the maximum is reached about 1.5–2 months after the initial strong seismic shock.
