Description

Middle radiation dose of thyroid was evaluated for residents of 4150 populated areas of Bryansk, Tula, Orel and Kaluga regions. Basic principles of the procedure for the reconstruction of dose are outlined. Residents of the Bryansk district exhibit the most thyroid radiation dose: in the age group of children younger than 3 years individual dose is as much as 10 Gy, middle dose is more than 2.5 Gy in 12 populated areas. Children of the Bryansk district with density of soil contamination more than 37 kBq/m2 the radiation dose is more then 0.05 Gy. The most value of the middle thyroid radiation dose of children of the Tula, Orel and Kaluga districts was 0.3-1 Gy. Collective radiation doses for four ones the most contaminated districts were estimated: Bryansk district - 60, Tula - 20, Orel - 13 Kaluga district - 3.5 thousand pers. Gy

Abstract (Russian)

Средняя доза облучения щитовидной железы оценена для жителей 4150 населенных пунктов Брянской, Тульской, Орловской и Калужской областей. Изложены основные принципы методики реконструкции дозы. Жители Брянской области имеют наибольшую дозу облучения щитовидной железы: в возрастной группе детей младше 3 лет индивидуальная доза достигала 10 Гр, средняя превышала 2.5 Гр в 12 населенных пунктах. У детей Брянской области из населенных пунктов с плотностью загрязнения почвы выше 37 кБк/м2 доза облучения превышала 0.05 Гр. Наибольшая средняя доза облучения щитовидной железы детей в Тульской, Орловской и Калужской областях составляет 0.3-1 Гр. Оценена коллективная доза облучения для четырех наиболее загрязненных областей: Брянская - 60, Тульская - 20, Орловская - 13, Калужская - 3.5 тыс. чел. Гр
