Reconstruction of Internal Doses from Long-Lived Radionuclides foll owing a Large-Scale Radiation Accident.

Objective


Foreseen Results

Based on existing internationally agreed computer codes for the calculation of dose coefficients computational tools for the inverse problem of retrospective internal dose assessment in the case of large-scale accidents will be developed.

These tools will be validated and applied to a retrospective evaluation of strontium-90 and actinide doses with a large amount of measurement data from the regions of Chernobyl and Kishtym.
The aim of this project is to develop and implement models and methods for retrospective assessment of internal doses by Sr-90 and long-lived isotopes of the actinide elements plutonium and americium following large-scale radiation accidents. These models and methods will be validated and applied to the Chernobyl and Kishtym situations.

Methods and computer codes for dose reconstruction based on a variety of sources of primary information will be developed.

Additionally, the biological effects of hot particles of Chernobyl origin will be compared to that from uniform irradiation by in vitro experiments. Together with some theoretical considerations the biological effects of hot particles in the respiratory tract will be modeled with consideration of oncogenic processes.
