Scientific articles
Republiccontaminated settlements had been developed. The results of the Whole Body measurements had been used as the basis for the model developing. The model for dose estimation is based on the classification of the settlements according to regional characteristics of soils, which cause 137Cs intake with locally produced foodstuff. The model is also based on regression of internal exposure dose on the soil surface activity for each region. The influence of the indirect factors on the dose forming had been taken into account: the number of inhabitants and the area of forest around the settlement. According to the developed method, Catalog of Average Annual Effective Doses for Residents of the Belarus Republic had been created.
An article considers the issues connected with radon-protective characteristics of facing products and materials. Experimental estimations are obtained of the radon diffusion factor for ceramic and stoneware facing products and for the number of rolled gas- and waterproof materials with the use of developed original methodic of radon diffusion factor estimation in the porous medium. It is shown that the use of these products and materials in the process of modern buildings construction could give considerable effect of the radon inflow reducing into indoor air from the block of enclosing constructions.
During the years passed after the Chernobyl accident we are carrying out monitoring of the radiation situation in the Sough-Western territories of the Bryansk region, contaminated with the long-living radionuclides which includes 137Сs concentration measurements in agricultural and natural foodstuffs, surveys of local populations on the structure and composition of the diet accompanied with 137Сs content measurements in the human body. In the article the obtained data is systematized on the food rations of the adult population of theBryansk region, on food rations dynamics in the first and following years after the accident, which is necessary for the correct estimation of internal exposure doses of the population living on the contaminated territories.
Were carried out the selective investigation of the adult patients exposure levels during radiological diagnostic procedures with the use of 17 CT scanners in 15 medical organizations of Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region in 2009–2012. We collected the data on technical parameters of the X-ray computed tomography examinations affecting the level of patient exposure. The effective doses were calculated for scanning of different areas of the patient's body (skull, thorax, abdomen and pelvis). Their mean values were in the range from 0,2 mSv to 31 mSv per examination. The highest doses were observed during the investigation of the abdomen and pelvis. Preliminary values of diagnostic reference levels are proposed for medical organizations of Saint-Petersburg andLeningrad region on the basis of investigation results. These values are defined as the 75% quantile in the distribution of dose length product values. Diagnostic reference levels values obtained in the investigation are comparable with the corresponding values currently accepted in the foreign medical practice.
The work provides comparative assessment of the levels of occupational exposure of Saint-Petersburg health institutions staff. The analysis was carried out of the 891 individual doses measurement results which have being obtained during 5 years investigations (2009-2013). The comparing of the average annual effective doses was carried out for 4 groups of medical specialists: x-ray laboratory assistant, radiotherapist, radiographer of dental clinics and X-ray surgery staff (surgeons, anesthesiologists and surgical nurses) who are working close to irradiation source). It is shown that the annual effective dose average value is about 0.5 mSv for the first three groups of medical specialists. The same value for X-ray surgery staff is 1.6 mSv. Individual annual exposure doses have not exceeded the main dose limits required by Radiation Safety Standard 99/2009. The issues are considered of the estimation exactness of the effective dose basing on the results of individual dose equivalent measurement.
Reviews
The article describes the automated system of radiation exposure control (ASCRE) for Rospotrebnadzor developed in the framework of the Federal target program "Nuclear and Radiation Safety in 2008 and for the period till 2015". The history of the development of this system is given. It is shown the diagram of the functioning of ASCRE, description of the individual blocks of diagram is given. It is shown that the grpouping of the data from various Federal banks in the single automated information-analytical system on the general address basis with the wide possibilities of analytical tools application will greatly expand the range of the issues for the assessment of radiation impact on the population than in the existing systems. The use of automation resources will reduce the time for obtaining the necessary information and, ultimately, will increase the effectiveness of the decision making in the field of radiation protection.
