Abstract

Reconstruction of individual and standard internal doses to the thyroid and a whole body of residents of Bryansk, Kaluga, Tula, Oryol oblasts on the basis of radiometric measurements of 1986 was made. Individual irradiation dozes of the measured inhabitants were recalculated to inhabitants standard dozes one age, without taking into account their moving, in absence of interdictions for local milk consumption and dairy cattle pasturable period beginning, since time of the ChNPP accident products fallout ending in their residing area. Parameters of average on settlements standard dozes regresses radiation from ¹³⁷Cs density fallout, dependent on area and various for rural and city settlements are given. Use of these parameters allows to carry out reconstruction of average on settlements of population thyroid and all body internal irradiation dozes population in 1986.

Key words
ChNPP accident, doses, internal irradiation, thyroid, radiometry.
