Author: Likhtarev, Illya

Reference: Health Physics: November 2007 – Volume 93 – Issue 5 – pp 480-486

DOI: 10.1097/01.HP.0000279600.49256.e6

Keywords: 4th Unit of Chernobyl NPP, dosimetry data, health state

Abstract: The paper provides an overview of current work involving the strengthening of the Sarcophagus over the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant destroyed 4th unit. It includes a brief summary of the types of work being performed, the radiological environment, the medical surveillance program, the protective measures being implemented, and the internal and external radiation monitoring program for the workers. Also, it presents a summary of the workplace monitoring data and the internal and external dosimetry data, and estimates of the total effective doses received by the workers during the work. The primary contribution to worker radiation doses was from external exposure. The maximum total effective doses received are 9.2 mSv mo(-1) and 17.4 mSv y(-1).
