Description
The paper focuses on the methodology of dose assessment and reconstruction based on the observations of radioactive contamination in the areas of Russia following the Chernobyl accident. Special attention is given to the early stage after the accident - the period of ''iodine hazard''. The combined internal doses for thyroid gland through the food pathway and from inhalation of iodine-131 were estimated for various population groups in the regions of Russia impacted by the accident. The specific features of accidental contamination of the environment with iodine-131 are analyzed for the local area - Sosnovy Bor in the Leningrad Region, for which detailed radioecological data are available.
