[Establishing of doses from the internal irradiation for the personnel of the Chernobyl AES and persons detailed in 1986-1987].
The paper is concerned with the results of measurements of characteristics of the air media in the zone of the damaged reactor as with the assessment of doses from internal irradiation on the basis of calculations of air media parameters and the results of actual measurements of the uptake and content of radionuclides in the personnel of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station and persons sent on mission there in 1986-1987, the results being obtained by indirect and direct biophysical methods of control of internal irradiation. The calculated data are well in accord with the results of actual measurements of the contents of radionuclides in the body. Internal irradiation of all tissues and organs, determined by the inhalation of a mixture of radionuclides, worked almost completely within the first year following the accident, the thyroid being the critical organ. In the next years internal irradiation for the personnel of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station was determined entirely by transuranic elements and was about 0.1 M.P.D annually for bone tissue. The value of a mean effective equivalent dose from internal irradiation in 50 years is 85 mSv for professionals, and a contribution of internal irradiation to the whole-body one over the first well as is 13%.
