Description

Focast of external irradiation doses for different groups of population living on territories contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident is discussed. The model applied is based on the fact that decrease of irradiation dose with time takes place under the influence of two factors, which are cesium isotope decay and their migration in environment. It is expected that the average dose for population during 25 years after the accident will be equal to 20 mSv. The dose will amount to 40±10 mSv in the most highly contaminated settlements. 6 refs., 2 tabs
