[Characteristics and results of the determination of the doses of internal irradiation of the thyroid gland in the population of contaminated districts of the Byelorussian Republic]

Abstract

The authors provide the results of studying the reconstruction of individual doses of thyroid radiation among the community living in polluted areas of the Byelorussian Republic according to radiation monitoring data and with regard to the nature of radioactive pollution of the land. Every individual result of estimating the degree of thyroid radiation was characterized by 3 magnitudes: the lower and upper limit of possible values and by the intermediate (basic) value. The authors hold that studies of the correlations between the values of individual doses of thyroid radiation and different parameters of the radiation situation in every region will promote further specification of individual doses of thyroid radiation.
