Mathematical analysis, with forecasting, of the morphofunctional state of the thyroid gland in terms of modeling of emergency situations in radiation hazardous objects

Author: E.N. Shestakova

Reference: Dissertation, candidate of technical sciences, Voronezh, 2007

Keywords: morpho-functional state, forecast, low dose radiation

Abstract: Recently, more and more attention of scientists is focused to the studies of the effects of radiation in low doses. This question interests not only physicians, but also responsible and official persons taking important social, economic and political decisions. The fact is that, as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, were formed not only areas with high levels of radiation (the thirty-kilometer zone around the plant) but there were also “spots” of contamination. Moreover, the problem of low-dose radiation has gone beyond our country and become of global character (Frolov, 1998; Burlakov EB, 1996; Tsib AF, 2005) …

Aim of research: Evaluation of morpho-functional state of the thyroid gland with forecast of long-term (remote) effects of post-radiation damage by ionizing radiation in a wide range of parameters of low doses.

Keywords: lake, 137cs, contamination

Abstract: In the article dynamics of radio-contamination, after the Chernoby accident, of the low-flow Kozhanovkoe Lake, in Bryanskaya district, is obseved. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of 137Cs contamination Kozhanovskoe Lake in the post-Chernobyl period, the semi-empirical evaluation of the current contamination of the water body well coincides with the experimental ones. Obtains evaluation of integrated reserves of 137Cs in the main components of the lake: the water, sediment and aquatic vegetation in the period 2005-2007.

Analysis of radionuclide wash-off from river basins

Title: Analysis of radionuclide wash-off from river basins

Author: Andreev I.I., Laikin A.I., Platovskikh Y.A.

Reference: Atomic Energy. 110(3), 2011:195-202.

ISSN: 0004-7163

Keywords: river, basin, decontamination, radionuclide migration

Abstract: Introduces the concept of the transfer of exchangeable and non-exchangeable forms of radionuclides into the basin and into the river. On this basis it proposes differential transport equation, allowing to find radionuclides in the soil and their entry into the river at uneven pollution of the basin. Based on measurement data, it determines time dependence of constant flushing of radionuclides.

DOI:  10.1134/S106741360703006X

Keywords: small mammals, 137Cs, 90Sr, radionuclide accumulation

Abstract: Between 1986 and 1994, a decrease in nonalimentary ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs intake and changes in the accessibility of radionuclides in the soil-plant link of their cycle resulted in a 10-to 100-fold decrease in their specific activity (SA) in the bodies of small mammals inhabiting the Chernobyl zone, and a similar decrease was observed in the radionuclide transition factor (TF) in the soil-animal chain. Between 1995 and 2005, no consistent increase or decrease in SA or TF could be revealed against the background of a combined effect of different physicochemical and ecological factors. It is suggested that subsequent changes in the level of radioactive contamination of small mammals will generally reflect only the dynamics of physical ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs decay, but, nevertheless, seasonal and local variations in this level will be significant.
