Abstract

Estimated radiation doses on river biota near “Siberian Chemical Combine” (SCC) are presented in this work. There are averaged dose rates on population as a result of consumption of fish and water at the border of SCC control area before (2000-2008) and after (2009-2010) reactors decommissioning. Results of the comparative analysis of estimated radiation doses on population and biota with established exposure limit of population and recommended exposure limits of biota.

Key words
River biota, radiation doses, Siberian Chemical Combine, dose on population.
