| Popis: | The characteristics of occupational diseases from radiation exposure at the first nuclear plant (Prod. Assoc. ‘Mayak’) in the period of its formation is presented here in brief. Chronic radiation disease (ChRD) made up the predominant part of the spectrum of radiation injuries caused by external whole body exposure to gamma-radiation (more than 80%). Acute radiation disease, local radiation injuries (burns, dermatitis), plutonium pneumosclerosis, and one case of a radiation cataract were diagnosed as well. |
