Use of calculations in the hygienic evaluation and prediction of external γ-irradiation levels of population
Description
The estimation method of the annual average equivalent dose of population external irradiation calculated per 1 person and collective dose using the data of gamma radiation in buildings and inhabited points is proposed. The modified ratio (from the report of UN Scientific Committee, 1977) for the determination of external irradiation dose per 1 person is given. Dynamics and value of population exposure are determined. Particular solutions with a number of corresponding approximating functions are proposed for concrete rural and urban conditions. It is shown that with the construction of stone buildings collective dose growth considerably passes ahead of the population growth. Dynamics of the population radiation dose is forecasted upto 2000 year. It is shown that the cumulative error does not exceed +-25%
