title: [Radiation doses in the population of the coastal area of the Kakhovsk Water Reservoir].
abstract: The Chernobyl accident resulted in environmental radionuclide pollution in many areas, including the Dnepr river. The water and fish of the Kakhovsk Water Reservoir were under study and tested for 90Sr and 137Cs. It was found that the content of 137Cs achieved pre-accident levels and that of 90Sr was 4-6 times higher than that prior to the accident. The fish levels of the above radionuclides were 10-20 times as high as the pre-accident levels. Due to the consumption of fish, the radiation doses of the radionuclides, mainly 90Sr, in the population living in the costal areas of the Kakhovsk Water Reservoir were 20-30 times higher than the pre-accident levels.
