RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INHALATION DOSE IN THE 30-KM ZONE AFTER THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT
@article{Mck2002RECONSTRUCTIONOT, title={RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INHALATION DOSE IN THE 30-KM ZONE AFTER THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT}, author={Konrad M{\"u}ck and Gerhard Pr{\"o}hl and Ilya A Likhtarev and Lina Kovgan and Vladislav Golikov and Johann Zeger}, journal={Health Physics}, year={2002}, volume={82}, pages={157-172} }
Due to lack of measurements of activity concentrations in air, the assessment of the inhalation dose of the population evacuated from the 30-km zone after the Chernobyl accident is not possible from continuous filter measurements. Since the evaluation of the inhalation dose in each settlement of the zone is of great interest for epidemiological purposes, an approach was chosen that utilizes the available data on ground deposition of 137Cs, a recently performed best estimate of the radionuclide…

The analyses in this paper show that a number of biologically based models describe cancer incidence among the A-bomb survivors equally well, however, these different models can predict very different temporal patterns of risk after irradiation.
