Title: Dosimetric data of the All-Russia Medical and Dosimetric State Registry for emergency workers

Reference: Journal: Radiation and Risk (Bulletin of the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry), Year: 1995, Issue: S2
Keywords: dosimetric data, liquidators
Abstract: This issue presents first a detailed description of dosimetric data registered in the All-Russia Medical and Dosimetric State Registry (ARMDSR) for emergency workers at the Chernobyl NPP. In dosimetric fields of the ARMDSR for emergency workers the data on absorbed doses of external radiation of persons are received from oficial documents given to emergency workers by organizations after carrying out dosimetric monitoring in the zone of emergency works. On the basis of ARMDSR data on radiation doses for 125771 emergency workers (79,1 % from the total number – 159027 men) all possible statistic characteristics are developed which allow to estimate degree of reliability of obtained information.
Title: Radiation Epidemiology capacity in dealing with the problems of radiation safety in medical exposure
Author: Tsyb A.F., Ivanov V.K., Biryukov A.P.
Reference: Radiation and Lisk 2008 vol.17 No.2
Keywords: accident at the Chernobyl NPP, radiation diagnosis and radiation therapy, liquidators, radiation-epidemiological analysis
Abstract: Latest data of radiation-epidemiological studies allow making suggestion that methods and means of radiation epidemiology can be used for purposes of radiological protection for medical exposure. Basic principles of the use of population-based approach to the assessment of radiation risk of medical exposure to ionizing radiation are discussed in the article. Analysis of results obtained in population radiation and epidemiological studies of health effects of the Chernobyl accident allows authors to draw conclusion that doses obtained as a result of radiological procedures are not critical for delayed development of cancer.

Title: RADIATION EPIDEMIOLOGY SECTOR: DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES TO THE HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF RADIATION PROTECTION OF THE POPULATION OF RUSSIA
Author: Ivanov.V.K., Tsyb A.F., Maksyutov M.A.
Reference: Radiation and Lisk 2012, vol.21 No.3
Keywords: Ionizing radiation, Radiation epidemiology, Radiological protection, Radiation risks, reconstruction of radiation doses, verification of medical data, Chernobyl accident, medical radiation exposure
Abstract: The authors present the history of the Radiation Epidemiological Sector of the Medical Radiological Research Center and review the main results obtained by researchers of the National Radiation Epidemiological Registry for twenty five years. For that time major efforts were made towards development of methodology and analytical methods for estimating radiation risks and prognosing morbidity and mortality of people affected by low level radiation. At present basic and applied research into Radiation Epidemiology and estimating risks for health of people exposed to radiation from nuclear accidents and incidents, occupational activity and medical procedures is carried out at the Sector.
Title: Criteria for population protection and rehabilitation of the Russian territories long after the Chernobyl accident
Author: Balonov M.I., Anisimova L.I., Perminova G.S.
Reference: Radiation and Risk (Bulletin of the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry) Year: 1999 Issue: 11
Keywords: protection of the population, rehabilitation, Russia
Abstract: The paper outlines the history of development of criteria of radiation and social protection of the population of Russia living in the areas contaminated after the Chernobyl accident long after the accident. The trend for lowering the standards with time has been revealed and causes of this trend are analyzed. It is shown that the optimization principle has not been applied in an explicit form for protection of the population. The current and predicted radiation situation in the contaminated areas of Russia is described and the main pathways of internal and external exposure are identified. Possibilities available today to reduce population dose are discussed. Proposed are criteria and methods for population protection and rehabilitation of Russian territories.
Title: Chernobyl: Looking back to go forward. Proceedings of an international conference
Reference: Proceedings series, Mar 2008, 260 p, IAEA, Vienna (Austria), International conference on Chernobyl: Looking back to go forward, Vienna (Austria), 6-7 Sep 2005
Abstract: […The accident led to numerous immediate and long term adverse consequences for the public and the environment. It has also had substantial psycho-social and economic impacts on the affected populations and has negatively influenced the nuclear industry worldwide. The international community was involved from the early days in the assessments and the practical efforts to overcome the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. The first post-accident review meeting was organized by the IAEA in August 1986. In 1990, at the request of the Soviet Government, the IAEA organized an assessment of the radiological consequences and an evaluation of protective measures by a large group of international experts coordinated by an International Advisory Committee…]
