Abstracts

Results of retrospective reconstruction of average individual radiation doses got by residents of the South Ukraine due to exposure to radioactive fallouts from the Chernobyl NPP are given in the article. In the work radiometry, spectrometry and dosimetry data collected in the territory of Nikolev, Odessa, Kirovograd oblasts and Autonomous Republic of Crimea were used. The study was carried out by the Nikolaev Research Laboratory “Larani” in 1986 and later.
