Abstract

The special issue contains official data on the average effective accumulated doses of external and internal irradiation of the entire body of residents of settlements in the Bryansk, Kaluga, Orel, Tula, Ryazan and Lipetsk regions of the Russian Federation for the first year after the Chernobyl accident and for the period from 1986 until the end of 1995. For the sites controlled territory of the Bryansk region, whose residents were resettled in 1986-1992 to "clean" areas, the doses are calculated from the moment of radioactive contamination to the moment of migration. Estimates of doses are made by specialists of the Institute of Radiation Hygiene (IRH) of the Ministry of Health of Russia (St. Petersburg): sites Bryansk, Tula and Orel regions; Medical Radiological Research Center (MRSC) RAMS: sites Kaluga region; SSC RF - Institute of Biophysics: sites Ryazan and Lipetsk regions. 2.6.1.-96 "Reconstruction of the average effective dose of irradiation of residents of settlements of the Russian Federation exposed to radioactive contamination as a result of the Chernobyl accident in 1986" approved by the State Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision of Russia (1986) currently the Department of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision of the Russian Ministry of Health) in 1996. The results of the calculations were discussed and approved at a meeting of the Russian Scientific Commission on Radiation Protection.
