Introduction
Taking into account the goals of the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2017-2021, aimed at improving the quality of the environment (strategic direction 1), it is necessary to raise the environmental standards of Kazakhstan to the level of developed countries, including changing the process of assessing the impact of industrial radiation risk enterprises on the environment. The republic lacks clearly formulated methodological and regulatory documents on risk assessment for ecosystems in case of chronic radioactive contamination, which in turn justifies the need for comprehensive research for the development of an ecocentric concept of radiation protection.
When standardizing environmental radionuclide contamination, the assessment of environmental risk is relevant [1,2]. Research in the field of assessing chemical environmental risk was first carried out in the 1980s in the United States [3].
In 2 000, in connection with the growing need to study the chronic effects of ionizing radiation on the biota, the ICRP initiated the development of a research program aimed at creating unified methodological approaches to assessing the impact of the radiation factor on the environment. The obtained research results formed the basis of Publication 91 of the ICRP "Framework program for the development of a system for assessing radiation effects in representatives of flora and fauna, with the exception of humans" [4], where a strategy for the protection of representatives of biota is proposed. The development of this program was also received in Publication 108 of the ICRP "Environmental protection: the concept and use of reference animals and plants" [5,6], where the concept is proposed - reference animals and plants, "conditional (reference) animals and plants" (hereinafter - C (R) AP). However, in specific radioecological conditions with the nature of contamination with different (alpha, beta, gamma emitting) radionuclides, developing in different regions, the use of a set of C (R) AP may not always adequately reflect the peculiarities of the functioning of ecosystems. In most studies, environmental risk is assessed for critical components of ecosystems, while methods for assessing radioecological risk at the ecosystem level are in their infancy.
At present, Kazakhstan has accumulated more than 170 million tons of radioactive waste in the form of tailings from concentration plants, heap leaching piles, tailing dumps of hydrometallurgical plants and waste of poor commodity, unprocessed ore, requiring constant
radiation monitoring of their condition and rehabilitation of the territory [7,8]. In the northern region of the Republic, according to the data of the commission for the study of the state of the radiation situation at the ore administrations of the former Tselinny Mining and Chemical Combine,about 61 million tons of radioactive waste with a total total activity of 168.4 thousand Curie have accumulated [9]. Many of them, associated with the extraction of raw materials enriched with radionuclides from the bowels, lead to an increase in the radiation background and the formation of radioactive anomalies and remain abandoned. The main properties of radioactive anomalies of this type are: practically infinite time of their existence due to long-lived radionuclides; the presence ofa greater number of radionuclides-members of natural decay series; constant release of radon into the environment; the presence of other micro- and macrocomponents that pollute the environment and affect the migration of radionuclides [10].
The assessment of the radiation risk to biological objects is carried out taking into account the radiation safety criteria, which leads to the receipt of erroneous data due to the lack of a single criterion [11,12]. At the same time, a unified criterion for the safety of biological objects under the influence of a chronic radiation factor has not yet been developed and adopted. In this regard, the study of the degree of uranium distribution in the organs of laboratory animals with chronic oral intake of uranium in the experiment and the subsequent assessment of the dose load is an urgent task.
Materials and methods
An experimental study was carried out on laboratory outbred rats (adult males), where uranium ore dust (UOD) in doses of 50 MPC was added to their food for one week. The composition of uranium ore dust is presented in table 1.
Table 1 - Chemical composition of uranium ore dust from SMCC, %.
U O3 Mo O Zn O2 Fe2O3 Si O2 Al2 O A s2O Sulf ur

3,5 10,0 2,0 10,0 4,0 0,2 2 7 ,0 2/7,9
From the above data, it can be seen that the bulk of UOD is carbon monoxide( carbonate), a mixture of sodium and potassium oxides, calcium oxide, ferrous and trivalent iron oxide, aluminum,magnesium, phosphorus oxides, uranium oxide, molybdenum oxide, zinc, and arsenic. Thus, the composition of the dust we used is very complex. Radiospectrometric studies of the UOD used in the experiment showed that the total activity of its a-emitting radionuclides was 98.8 Bq/g, and of the P-emitting ones - 30.4 Bq/g.
UOD was added to baby food Nestle, a dairy - free porridge, and mixed to a homogeneous mass. At the same time, UOD was absorbed into the animals ' bodies under conditions of natural food consumption as the only source of nutrition.
To control the portion eaten, the animals of the experimental and control groups were seatedin individual cages, in the corner of which fixed containers with food and water were placed. After feeding, the food eaten and residues were recorded, the volumes of which were insignificant (less than 1% of the total volume of the mixture).
A total of 6 animals were used in the experiment. Determination of uranium concentration was carried out in samples of organs, such as kidneys, liver, intestines, testes and ovaries of outbred rats 24 hours after feeding with porridge with UOD. The period of feeding animals in 7 days is equal to 1 year of human life [13].
To calculate the parameters of the seed, the activity of the isotopes 238U, 235U in the UOD and the values of the activity of uranium supplied to the personnel for 1 year of production activity
were taken into account. To estimate the dose load of animals, the measured uranium concentration was converted. According to the US Department of Energy for 2011, 1 p,g / L is 0.6757 pCi / L, respectively 0.6757 pCi / L is 25 Bq / g.
On the equipment "Multiwave PRO 3000" we carried out microwave decomposition of animal organs, after which the uranium content was determined on the mass spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma "ICP-MS Agilent 7800".
Tables 2 and 3 present the technical parameters of the equipment for measuring uranium in bioassays. Table 2 - Temperature-time range of decomposition of organ samples from outbred rats.

Construction of calibration dependencies. Calibration curves were obtained using aqueous standard uranium solutions. To plot the calibration curves, calibration aqueous solutions with a mass concentration of uranium of 0; 0.5 p,g / L and 5 p,g / L. Analytical signals are measured according to optimized conditions (n = 11). The MassHunter Workstation software of the mass spectrometer automatically approximates and constructs a linear calibration characteristic in coordinates, the value of the signal intensity (imp / s) and the value of the mass concentration of uranium (p,g / L) [14-16].
To assess the internal dose of animals, the technique described in publication 108 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) for reference animals was used, based on modeling an organ with a simple geometric figure (in the form of an ellipsoid with dimensionsof 20 x 6 x 5 cm) with a uniform distribution of the radionuclide over volume with chronic intake [4].
To calculate the radiation doses of laboratory animals for each organ, the internal dose of theorgan was calculated, where it was calculated by integrating the dose rate for a given period of time:
T
Di = f D°(t) * dt
0
where:
Di - accumulated radiation dose of organs, Gy, for a period of time T;
D°(t) - dose rate in an organ due to uranium incorporated in the body, Gy / day.
D°(t) = 1,6 * 10-16 * q* t * E
where
t - time after the beginning of uranium intake, days;£' - energy absorbed in the i-th target organ, MeV; q - activity of uranium in the source organ, Bq.

The results showed that in the early periods after the arrival of uranium ore dust, the highest concentration of uranium was observed in the organs of rats receiving UOD at a dose of 50 MPC. The concentration of uranium in experimental groups of animals is an order of magnitude higher than the concentration of uranium in all organs of rats in comparison with control animals. A fairly low content of uranium isotopes is noted in organs, the brain (barrier organ), testis and ovary. However, as can be seen from Figure 1, there are organs in which the maximum concentration of uranium was found. These include the kidneys, intestines, liver, which perform the functions of storage, excretion and are a kind of biogeochemical barriers. The organs are uranium concentrating organs, in contrast to the above organs.
In the works of G.P. Galibina, Yu.V. Novikova, the distribution of uranium was studied after prolonged oral administration of uranyl nitrate to mice at a dose of 0.02-20 mg. After 9-11 months, the kidneys contained 3-10 mcg, the bones 26-77 mcg, and the liver 0-0.5 mcg. These data showthat the main amount of uranium after oral intake is deposited in the bones and kidneys [17].
In studies, the parameters of the elimination of radionuclides from the body are usually characterized by the effective half-life (Teff), that is, the time during which the initial amount of the radionuclide will be halved. For uranium entering the body, the half-life of uranium isotopes from the body of laboratory animals will depend only on the biological half-life Teff = Tbiol, since the half-life of uranium isotopes (234, 235, 238) is 2,46-105, 7.04-108, 4,5-109 years, respectively.
According to ICRP 108, the assessment of internal doses often uses internal dosimetry modelsfor reference animals. In this work, we use a method based on modeling an organ with a simple geometric figure with a uniform distribution of the radionuclide over the volume during chronic intake [4].
The results of calculating the radiation doses of laboratory animals for each organ at 50 MPC are presented in table 4.
Table - Results of calculating radiation doses of laboratory animals for each organ at 50 MPC.
Name Uranium activity in organs, Bq / g Accumulated dose,fGy
Brain 0.494±0.16 0.01
Liver 9.76±3.25 0.2
Kidney 281.58±93.86 5.67
Intestines 32.11±10.7 0.65
Testis 0.98±0.32 0.02
Ovaries 1.6±.53 0.03
As can be seen from the data presented in Table 3, the dose of internal irradiation of organs due to chronic intake of uranium at 50 MPC varies from 0.01 fGy to 5.67 fGy. The highest content of uranium isotopes in the body of animals was found in the kidneys, intestines and liver. The
obtained data on internal irradiation doses for oral administration are consistent with the literature data. It is known that the main organ of uranium compound deposition is the kidney and liver. The maximum value of the absorbed dose was noted in the kidneys, which subsequently indicates the likelihood of biological effects according to the sources [18]. Conclusions
In the early stages of oral intake of UOD, the highest concentration of uranium was observedin the organs of rats at a dose of 50 MPC.
1. Measurements of uranium concentration in organs on a mass spectrometer showed themaximum concentration values in organs such as kidneys, intestines and liver.
2. The critical organ (in terms of the absorbed dose) is the kidneys, which subsequentlyindicates the likelihood of biological effects.
