Abstract

A study on radiation health effects for residents around the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site has been conducted by REA of Japan and NNC of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In this study, we established a new cohort. The present paper describes the method for individual dose estimation relevant to the consequences of nuclear tests for residents in 10 villages around the test site and presents part of the results. External doses were calculated based on air dose rates reported in the literature soon after the nuclear tests. Internal doses due to inhalation were estimated based on the air concentration of radionuclides calculated from the air dose rate. Internal doses due to ingestion were estimated based on the ground deposition of radionuclides calculated based on the air dose rate. The external dose was much higher than the internal dose. The total dose varied by village, with the highest dose observed in Chermushki followed by Dolon, Sarjal, Karaul, and Akubulak. These results are in reasonable agreement with doses reported by others so far.

前塞米巴拉金斯克核试验场附近居民的剂量重建，重点是辐射健康影响研究

日本原子能机构和哈萨克斯坦共和国核工业委员会对塞米巴拉金斯克核试验场周围居民的辐射健康影响进行了研究。在这项研究中，我们建立了一个新的队列。本文介绍了与核试验对试验场周围10个村庄居民的后果有关的个人剂量估计方法，并介绍了部分结果。外部剂量是根据文献中在核试验后不久报告的空气剂量率计算的。吸入引起的内部剂量是根据根据空气剂量率计算的放射性核素的空气浓度估计的。摄入引起的内部剂量是根据根据空气剂量率计算的放射性核素的地面沉积来估计的。外剂量远高于内剂量。总剂量因村庄而异，观察到的最高剂量在切尔穆什基，其次是多隆、萨尔加尔、卡拉尔和阿库布拉克。这些结果与迄今为止其他人报告的剂量相当一致。
