Title: Dynamic modeling of the radionuclides transfer within hydrobiocenosis and assessing the consequences of radioactive contamination for biota and human
Author: Kryshev, Alexander Ivanovich
Reference: Obninsk, 2008
Keywords: biota, humans, radionuclides, environment, radiation monitoring, hydrobiocenosis, water reservoirs
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated assessment model of the effects of radioactive contamination of hydrobiocenosis on biota and humans, based on the information about the entry of radionuclides into the environment and the radiation monitoring data.

Abstract: Now both people and the animals who are in polluted areas, receive up to 80 % of a dose at the expense of an internal irradiation [mainly with food ] such radionuclides as caesium 134-137 and strontium 90. The greatest danger is represented by strontium 90, being an alpha- and beta – a radiator it is a source of densely ionizing radiation with the big period half-decay. Radionuclides constantly circulating and collecting in various bodies and fabrics with various intensity irradiate cages – targets, as in cases of a unitary and chronic irradiation. The obtained data testifies that in the circumstances it is necessary to conduct constantly radiating veterinarno-sanitary control over safety of products of a vegetative and animal origin not only in the markets and the processing enterprises, but also in economy. Being engaged in manufacture of forages in the polluted territories to carry out necessary agro- technical and agrochemical actions for decrease in level of radio nuclides in soil. To cultivate crops of cultures which to a lesser degree accumulate radio-nuclides. Performance of all actions should not admit hit of harmful radioactive substances in an organism of an animal, and through livestock products and plant growing in a human body.

Abstract: The history of research of Chernobyl catastrophe radiological consequences and of the role of geographical factors in its development is stated. The contribution of a number of institutes of Academy of Sciences and of separate researchers into investigation of radionuclides migration in biogeocenoses and radioactive influence on living organisms including man is noted.

Abstract: The paper presents distributions of external doses and absorbed doses from thyroid internal exposure on the territory of the former USSR due to exposure of 131I and 132I released into the environment as a result of the Chernobyl accident. Dose assessments were based on measurements of daily depositions of 131I and 132Te from the atmosphere made by SPA Typhoon. The main body of available measurement data were added with calculations of 131I depositions from space-time correlations and results of measurements of total p-activity, 137Cs etc. Based on these data calculations were made of 131I and 132I accumulation on soil surface, exposure dose rate and exposure dose from y-irradiation 131I and 132I from the soil surface, and absorbed thyroid doses from incorporated 131I and 132I. Estimated errors in calculations are also presented. Besides, the paper includes ganerated maps of 131I contamination of the soil by 15 May 1986 and distribution of external and internal thyroid exposure doses from incorporated 131I and 132I accumulated by 1 september 1986. The dominant radiation load from 131I and 132I has been shown to be due to internal thyroid exposure to incorporated 131I. Given no iodine prophylaxis and restrictions in the diet of the residents, it could have been three orders of magnitude higher the external exposure doses. In different points of the former USSR, the maximum contamination was reported on different dates from 28 April to 3 May 1986. By estimation, of the major cities the highest radiation loads due to 131I occired in Gomel where by 1 June the exposure dose was 134 mR and the thyroid exposure dose was 166 cSv. The highest radiation loads from 132Te + 132I were in Kiev where by 1 June 1986 the thyroid exposure dose was 720 |xSv (72 mrem) and the exposure dose – 965 mR.

Keywords: Radioactive contamination, Croatia, humans, 137Cs, 90Sr
Abstract: Because of the Chernobyl nuclear accident which led to enhanced deposition of all fission products, contamination of the human environment in the Republic of Croatia was much higher than in the previous two decades. The paper deals with the investigation of deposition and contamination by fission product radionuclides (137Cs and 90Sr, in particular), especially within the human food chain. Its aim was to determine differences in contamination levels resulting from the Chernobyl accident and from large-scale atmospheric nuclear weapon tests. For the year following the Chernobyl accident, the radiation doses received from external and internal exposures were estimated for 1-year old infants, children at the age of 10-years and adults. The corresponding annual effective doses were 1·49, 0·93 and 0·83 mSv, respectively. The paper also gives data on the yearly intakes of 137Cs and 90Sr in foods and the corresponding effective doses received by the population of Croatia over many years from the global fallout following nuclear weapons testing and the Chernobyl accident.
