Abstract: In the Bryansk region until 1991 (the latent period after the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant) spontaneous cancers of the thyroid gland were recorded among children. In the period 1992 – 1999 years. thyroid cancer children of the Bryansk region ranged from 0.96/100 thousand children in 1992 to 2.6 – in 1994 and was higher (P <0.05) than data in Russia (from 0.08 in 1992 to 2.6 in 1997), mainly due to the increase of this disease among children aged 10-14 living in areas with a density of contamination by 137Cs above 5 Ci / km. In the condition of iodine deficiency, doses of radioiodine to the thyroid gland by an average of more than 400 mGy make a significant contribution to the formation of non-toxic diffuse goiter in children.
