The Chernobyl accident and its consequences.
The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was the worst industrial accident of the last century that involved radiation. The unprecedented release of multiple different radioisotopes led to radioactive contamination of large areas surrounding the accident site. The exposure of the residents of these areas was varied and therefore the consequences for health and radioecology could not be...
متن کاملReconsidering Health Consequences of the Chernobyl Accident
The Chernobyl accident led to major human suffering caused by the evacuation and other counter-measures. However, the direct health consequences of the accident-related radiation exposures, besides the acute effects and small number of thyroid cancers, have not been observed. This absence is challenged by some influential groups affecting public policies who claim that the true extent of radiog...
متن کاملCancer consequences of the Chernobyl accident: 20 years on.
26 April 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident. On this occasion, the World Health Organization (WHO), within the UN Chernobyl Forum initiative, convened an Expert Group to evaluate the health impacts of Chernobyl. This paper summarises the findings relating to cancer. A dramatic increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer has been observed among those exposed to radioactive...
متن کاملCurrent Topics about the Radiological Consequences by the Chernobyl Accident
Basic radiological factors of the Chernobyl accident are reviewed such as radioactivity discharge, the size of contaminated area, radiation dose, radiation risk assessment etc. Roughly estimating, 50-60 % of I and 30-50 % of Cs in the reactor core were released into the environment, which correspond to 40-50 MCi and 2-4 MCi, respectively, as the activities at the time of the accident. The total...
