By the method of dual equations, we identify the initial field of the concentrations of Cs137 in the Black Sea after the Chernobyl accident. We determine the zones of possible radioactive precipitations and compute the concentration of Cs137 in this region. It is shown that the results of numerical simulations performed by using the obtained initial field is in good agreement with the data of measurements.
