The average irradiation dose to the thyroid gland is estimated for the people living in 4105 populated points in the Bryanskaya, Tul'skaya, Orlovskaya, and Kaluzhskaya oblasts. The basic principles of the method used to reconstruct the dose are presented. The people living in Bryanskaya oblast have the highest irradiation dose to the thyroid gland: in children less than 3 yr old the individual dose reached 10 Gy; the average dose exceeded 2.5 Gy in 12 populated points. In children living in Bryanskaya oblast, for populated points with soil contamination density above 37 kBq/m2 the irradiation dose exceeded 0.05 Gy. The highest average irradiation dose to the thyroid gland in children living in Tul'skaya, Orlovskaya, and Kaluzhskaya oblasts is 0.3–1 Gy. The collective irradiation dose for the four most strongly contaminated oblasts is estimated to be as follows: Bryanskaya – 60, Tul'skaya – 20, Orlovskaya – 13, Kaluzhskaya – 3.5 thousand·people·Gy. |
