EPR Dosimetry of Chernobyl Liquidators
The paper is devoted to review of development and application of EPR dosimetry with teeth in Ukraine. It deals with specific features of the EPR dosimetry protocol, which was developed and is practically used in SCRM for retrospective dosimetry of clean-up workers (liquidators). Extensive methodological research was conducted in SCRM in order to develop an original version of EPR dosimetric pro...
متن کاملMolecular changes in the offspring of liquidators who emigrated to Israel from the Chernobyl disaster area.
The primary goal of this research was to reveal de novo mutations in the liquidators (cleanup personnel) who emigrated to Israel from the Chernobyl disaster area. We used genome fingerprinting simple sequence repeat-anchored polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD PCR). The methodology involved a combination of RAPD PCR, polyacrylamide gel el...
متن کاملRisk of hematological malignancies among Chernobyl liquidators.
A case-control study of hematological malignancies was conducted among Chernobyl liquidators (accident recovery workers) from Belarus, Russia and Baltic countries to assess the effect of low- to medium-dose protracted radiation exposures on the relative risk of these diseases. The study was nested within cohorts of liquidators who had worked around the Chernobyl plant in 1986-1987. A total of 1...
متن کاملBenign Thyroid Diseases among Chernobyl Liquidators.
Seventeen years have passed since the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The only clear evidence of the result of this accident is that a dramatic increase of thyroid cancer has been observed after the accident among residents who were exposed by radiation-fallout at a young age [1]. However, the radiation risk for adults around Chernobyl remains unclear. Besides such effects among ...
