Abstract—Microelements in bottom sediments may enter different compounds; however, of greatest interest are their mobile forms as the most bioavailable. The microelements speciation in the pore water and solid phase of bottom sediments were studied in the cooling reservoir of the Kalinin NPP (lakes Udomlya and Pes’vo).

Keywords: bottom sediments, microelements, sequential extractions, thermodynamic calculations, cooling reservoirs of the Kalinin NPP
