Abstract

New approach to calculation of modified standard internal doses to thyroid and a whole body of residents of contaminated settlements based on radiometry data of 1986 is presented. The approach was used for calculation of modified standard doses for all residents added to the joint data base of the NRER and the Institute of Radiation Hygiene of St.-Petersburg. Power regressions of averaged standard doses with regard to a settlement and density of contamination with 137Cs were practically affected neither by a region of residence nor a settlement type. Compound error of calculation of standard doses by regression dependence is 1.6-1.7. Compound error of calculation of standard doses with regard to a settlement is 2.0-2.3.

Key words
Chernobyl accident, doses, internal radiation, thyroid, radiometry.
