Abstract

A method for internal dose assessment in rural inhabitants living on contaminated territories of the Republic of Belarus had been developed. The method is based on the individual internal WBC-doses.

Key words
WBC-doses ¹³⁷Cs, internal dose, determinating and indirect factors, soils types and area forests around settlements, regression dependences.
