THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EMPIRIC-CALCULATED ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR ACCUMULATED DOSES IN POPULATION OF BELARUS RESIDING ON THE CHERNOBYL RADIONUCLIDE CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES

Abstract

The article presents the comparative analysis of assessed accumulated doses in the population residing on the territories contaminated with Chernobyl radionuclides conducted by methods valid in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. The technique, used in Belarus, was modified on basis of WBC-measurements and TL-dosimetry. It was shown that there were essential differences in the assessment of internal radiation dose, conducted by Byelorussian and Russian methods. The comparison of the internal dose estimations, conducted according to the method used in Belarus and its modification, showed differences since 1993. The assessments of external doses that were conducted by Russian methods differed from the results of Byelorusian methods. In order to use the United Chernobyl Register data, the methods of the dose assessment have to be coordinated. Сравнение оценок дозы внутреннего облучения, проведенных по методике Беларуси, и ее модификации, показало различия, начиная с 1993 г. Оценки дозы внешнего облучения, которые проводились по методике РФ, также отличаются от результатов белорусских методик.
