Abstract—Active lineaments in the area of the Novo-Voronezhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (NVNPP) were dis-
tinguished with the use of relaxation microseisms. The lineaments were preliminarily ranked in terms of strain
magnitude and energy exchange intensity. The active stresses in the environment were estimated.
