Evaluation and prediction of radio-ecological situation in radiation accidents with the release of particles of irradiated nuclear fuel: the example of Chernobyl

Title: Evaluation and prediction of radio-ecological situation in radiation accidents with the release of particles of irradiated nuclear fuel: the example of Chernobyl

Author: Kashparov, Valery Alexandrovich

Reference: Kiev, 1999

Keywords: radiobiology, forecasting, nuclear fuel, 90Sr

Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the main processes of formation of radiological patterns of behavior in the environment of biologically significant radionuclides composed of fuel particles deposited after the Chernobyl accident, their parameterization based on the study of the properties of radioactive fallout and the characteristics of the environment, zoning and mapping of near-field accident zone for long-term forecasting of redistribution of radionuclides in the components of soil and vegetation cover, as well as the assessment of the radiological significance access of fuel particles into humans and farm animals.

Facts and Controversies About Radiation Exposure, Part 1: Controlling Unnecessary Radiation Exposures

Keywords: Radiation exposure; radiation protection; stochastic effects of radiation; deterministic effects of radiation; radiation biology; radiation epidemiology ,The Chernobyl Legacy

Abstract: In this 2-part article, the authors address the need to put in perspective the risks of radiation exposure in the rapidly changing field of radiology, considering the current state of knowledge of effects at low levels. The article is based on the content of the refresher course RC 516 presented at the Radiological Society of North America’s 2005 annual meeting. After a brief review of epidemiologic studies, part 1 contains a discussion of typical radiation doses experienced in medicine, by both patients and professionals, and it concludes with a description of practical approaches to reduce unnecessary exposures. Part 2 of the article addresses a special concern for the unborn and discusses advisory and regulatory cancer risk estimates based mainly on epidemiologic studies. The limitations of epidemiologic studies at low-level exposures and recent new findings in radiobiology, some of which are summarized, challenge the notion that any amount of radiation causes adverse effects.

Abstract: Radiation exposure of the biota in the shoreline area of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Cooling Pond was assessed to evaluate radiological consequences from the decommissioning of the Cooling Pond. The article addresses studies of radioactive contamination of the terrestrial faunal complex and radionuclide concentration ratios in bodies of small birds, small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles living in the area.
