Облучение работников лесного комплекса Беларуси при использовании радиоактивно загрязненных ресурсов

Abstract

The absorbed dose from external irradiation and radionuclides absorbed during respiration, incorporated with food, depends on the intensity, time of exposure to ionizing radiation, type and energy of radiation, half-life, physical and chemical properties of radio nuclides, the distribution of human organs and tissues and the rate of excretion from the body. The strategy for the rehabilitation of radionuclide-contaminated areas is to reduce radiation doses to levels that achieve an acceptable level of radiation risk. Safe working conditions in the forest complex of Belarus are provided by radiation monitoring of workers and consumers of products. Hence, the main tasks of radiation safety of the population is the implementation of a set of protective measures aimed at eliminating any unjustified exposure and reducing individual and collective radiation doses.
