Description
Summary:The actual levels and projected radiation doses to people living in the most contaminated areas following the Chernobyl accident have been studied. All results are based upon the application of the information system SDACH, which includes integrated data on each of 6000 populated centres with deposition levels of 137Cs of 50 kBq.m-2 or above. The actual external doses and projected doses for the strictly controlled areas (population 270,000) were specified on the basis of the data for 1989. This paper concerns the actual data and collective dose commitments in the most contaminated areas of Gomel. Mogilev, Kiev. Zhitomir and Bryansk regions. Probable variations of the collective dose commitment were estimated in relation to the scale of population relocation and demographic circumstances. The distributions and values of the lifetime collective dose commitment to the critical group of children born in 1980-1989 have also been determined.
