The thyroid doses assessed for the evacuees are consistent with results achieved in studies performed in areas outside the 30-km zone, and the ingestion doses are compared to the doses due to inhalation and external exposure.

A new Approach to Assess the Doses to the Population in the 30 km-Zone after the Chernobyl Accident

INTRODUCTION Very few data are available to assess the exposure of the population within the 30 km exclusion zone around the NPP Chernobyl. While gamma dose rate measurements were performed at…

How reliable are the dose estimates of UNSCEAR for populations contaminated by Chernobyl fallout? A comparison of results by physical reconstruction and biological dosimetry.

Investigation of radiation-specific cytogenetic alterations in the lymphocytes of persons in the contaminated regions directly after the accident or some years later revealed that the rate of unstable and stable chromosome aberrations is much higher than would be expected if the physically derived exposures were correct.

Appendix 4 A Radioecological Model for Thyroid Dose Reconstruction of the Population of Belarus after the Chernobyl Accident

A radioecological model developed to estimate thyroid exposures of the population of Belarus subsequent to the Chernobyl accident is used to assess thyroid exposures in Belarus for areas, where no I-measurements are available.

A radioecological model for thyroid dose reconstruction of the Belarus population following the Chernobyl accident

A radioecological model was developed to estimate thyroid exposures of the Belarus population following the Chernobyl accident and results were compared with estimations of thyroid exposure that were based on 131I measurements in human thyroids, and they are in good agreement.

Health Risks Associated with Radionuclides in Soil Materials

Soil- or rock-borne radionuclides generate a significant component of the background radiation people are exposed to, including cesium (137Cs) with a half-life of 30.17 years, which is released from nuclear fission and activation processes.

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INHALATION DOSE IN THE 30-KM ZONE AFTER THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT

An approach was chosen that utilizes the available data on ground deposition of 137Cs, a recently performed best estimate of the radionuclide vector and its spatial distribution as well as the radIONuclide dependent deposition velocity to evaluate the inhalation dose in each settlement of the 30-km zone.

Retrospective reconstruction of individual and collective external gamma doses of population evacuated after the Chernobyl accident.

Retrospective reconstruction of external gamma exposure doses, based on the results of direct dose rate measurements performed during the accident and individual behavior/migration histories of the evacuees, was performed.

Estimation of131I thyroid doses for the evacuees from Pripjat

The thyroid doses of 49 360 inhabitants of Pripjat evacuated after the accident at Chernobyl were reconstructed and collective doses and the resulting radiation risks for thyroid cancer were assessed for different age groups.

Estimation of 131I thyroid doses for the evacuees from Pripjat

The thyroid doses of 49 360 inhabitants of Pripjat evacuated after the accident at Chernobyl were reconstructed using a model of dose estimations improved and the correlation between the calculated doses and individual parameters was described by an empirical equation.

Thyroid dose reconstruction for the population of Belarus after the Chernobyl accident

The model calculation may perhaps overestimate thyroid doses of the population residing in the settlements of the central and northern parts of Belarus, distant from the areas with direct measurements of 131I activities in soil, grass and milk.

Thyroid dose assessment for the Chernigov region (Ukraine): Estimation based on131I thyroid measurements and extrapolation of the results to districts without monitoring

Based on the results of131I thyroid activity measurements in three districts of the Chernigov region (Ukraine), individual doses were calculated and an approach of the age dependence of the average thyroid exposure was derived and 140 and 21 excess thyroid cancer cases are predicted for children and adults.
