| Summary: | The main features of thyroid dose reconstruction after the Chernobyl accident are discussed. The method is also presented taking into account extra-thyroid radiation from other radionuclides distributed inside and on the surface of the human body, and recorded by the equipment simultaneously with 131I in the thyroid. The choice of the 131I intake function for thyroid dose estimation and influencing factors is discussed. Reconstruction of an average thyroid dose in settlements without direct measurements was based on the regression analysis of the connection between average 'measured' thyroid dose in settlements and 131I concentration in milk, or 137Cs soil contamination, or 134Cs and 137Cs whole-body content in residents of the same settlement. |
