Institute of nuclear physics is one of the biggest research centers in Central Asia that conducts a lot of studies in the field of environmental radioactivity. In this study, the evaluation of the data obtained by gamma spectrometry of natural radionuclides in river-bottom sediments and coastal soil in basins of Syrdarya and Amudarya rivers and their inflows on the territory of Uzbekistan are cited. Possible seasonal deviations of activity of radionuclides are also discussed.
