title: [Exposure levels of persons involved in cleaning-up after the Chernobyl AES accident and included in the Russian State Medical and Dosimetric Registry].
abstract: Theoretical and practical problems related to the dosimetric data verification for recovery workers at the Chernobyl NBB are considered. Approaches and conclusions presented in the paper of L.A. Ilyin at al, (1). By using probability theory it was clearly that the method of dose verification developed in the reviewed paper and based on delta-entropy of statistical distribution failed to be scientifically founded. It does not permit to prove the existence of non-random component in random sampling without additional assumptions. The main conclusion of the reviewed paper, that 60% of individual doses included in the all-russia state medical and dosimetric state registry (ARMDSR) differ from the real exposure doses, is analysed and quantitatively estimated for several group of recovery workers. Our results present evidence that ARMDSR data do not contain a considerable part of "distorted" values even if the above mentioned method to take as valid.
