Description
On the 26th of April, 1986, a major accident occurred at the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in Ukraine. The meteorological conditions lead to important fallout over our country. The most important radionuclides carried by the radioactive plume over Romania were I131, Cs134, Cs131 and Sr90. After the decay of I131, and of the other short-lived radionuclides, Cs137 and Sr90 remained the most important contaminants on the Romanian territory. The principal route of intake for these two radionuclides is considered to be the ingestion of contaminated foods. Therefore, we have measured Cs137 and Sr90 content in dietary intake for a group of adult subjects. The data for dietary intake were used to determine the effective doses committed annually, with the dose factors recommended by ICRP 67. (author)
