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.

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).
