Abstract: An integrated estimation of neuromental health of children acutely exposed to prenatal irradiation was performed. One hundred children, who were born between 26 April 1986 and 26 February 1987 from pregnant at the moment of the Chernobyl disaster women evacuated from the city of Pripyat after the accident were examined (main group). Doses of fetus irradiation were 10,7–92,5 mSv and doses of fetus thyroid irradiation were 0,2–2 Gy. Comparison group included 50 children from Kiev of the same age which mother’s pregnancies took place in Kiev (doses of fetus irradiation were 0–2,7 mSv and doses of fetus thyroid irradiation were 0–0,04 Gy).
