A mathematical model of transfer of radionuclides in the 
aeration zone has been considered. The analytical solution for this 
model in a generalized form suitable for practical application has 
been obtained. A procedure enabling one to determine the optimum size 
of the protection zone and in which the maximum concentration of radionuclides 
does not exceed the maximum permissible levels for a specific kind 
of radionuclides has been proposed.
