Life tests on treatment with a ferrocyanidic sorbent of natural waters radioactively contaminated with 137Сs have been conducted. The sorbent’s operational characteristics have been investigated in the prolonged filter cycle mode. Assessment of the sorbent’s applicability for the cesium radio nuclides reduction in natural waters radio/chemical analysis methods has been carried out. The determined sorbent resource was 120 thousand of columnar volumes, while potential calculated resource was 400 thousand of columnar volumes. The sorbent’s effectiveness in radiochemical analysis has been proved, cesium yield was (0.97 ± 0.02) in radiochemical analysis of aquatic media.
