Abstract
The most probable and dangerous radionuclides which can appear in waste water of atomic power stations after accidents or terrorist acts are 134,137Cs, 90Sr, 129I. Moreover, the radionuclides 137Cs, 90Sr and 60Co are also most attractive for terrorists to use in dirty bombs. As a result of the disasters the radionuclides can contaminate drinking water. Generally, , tap water is decontaminated at water supply stations. Nevertheless it is very important to have sorbents and household drinking water filters in stocks to prevent panic of populace and consequences of emergency cases at the water supply stations.
