The article presents the results of radioecological researches of soils in the natural-technogenic ecosystems of the Issyk-Kul region. The physico-geographical location and geological structure of the Issyk-Kul basin largely determine it as a province with an elevated concentration of natural uranium, formed due to the dispersion of uranium from weathered rocks and granites and its accumulation in sedimentary rocks and soils. Among the technogenic sources of radioactivity in the region is the tailings repository of radioactive coal processing in the village of Kadji-Sai. It is located on the southern coast of Lake Issyk-Kul which was remediated in 2019 as part of the international program "Reclamation of territories of the Eurasian Economic Union countries affected by uranium mining operations." The remediation of the Kadji-Sai tailings repository has made a significant contribution to radiation safety. In 2023 radioecological researches showed that the level of radiation background and the specific activity of radionuclides in the soil of the region changes within normal limits.
