Abstract: Results of long-term observations on <superscript>137</superscript>Cs and <superscript>90</superscript>Sr concentration in water mass of the ChNPP Cooling Pond are presented. Drastic transformation of the intrinsic trend in changes with time of averaged radionuclides content in water is clearly demonstrated alongside with the spatial heterogeneity of radioactive contamination of water body. The cycling character of seasonal changes of <superscript>137</superscript>Cs activity concentration in water is being linked to hydrochemical, temperature and oxygen regimes of the Cooling Pond.
