Objective
458 atomic and thermonuclear devices were exploded on the Semipalatinsk testing ground during 40 years period from 1949 to 1989. This led to contamination of a large adjacent area with products of a nuclear decomposition. Nuclear pollution levels were in direct dependence on the distance between the area and the epicentre of the explosion. It was found that almost all population of the East Kazakhstan region and part of Payload and Katakana regions population had been affected by ionised radiation in a various range of doses. There was a lack of information characterizing early and late irradiation affection the population until 1990 because of some reasons. Certain progress has been achieved in reconstruction of the radiation situations, of effective equivalent and collective doses of the people's irradiation. There are some estimates of distant effects of irradiation for the groups of irradiation risk with the fixed effective equivalent dose. The main purpose of the conference into summarise results of epidemiological and clinical researches in the Semipalatinsk region on evaluation of morbidity and mortality and on development of a net vans for minimizing post-radiation effects among the groups of irradiation risks.
