Brief electronic versions of the Journal have been publicly available since 2005 on the website of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal: http://www.medradiol.ru. Since 2011, all issues of the journal as a whole are publicly available, and since 2016 - full-text versions of scientific articles. Since 2005, subscribers can purchase full versions of other articles of any issue only through the National Electronic Library. The editor of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal in accordance with the National Electronic Library agreement has been providing the Library with all its production since 2005 until now.

The main working language of the journal is Russian, an additional language is English, which is used to write titles of articles, information about authors, annotations, key words, a list of literature.

Since 2017 the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety has switched to digital identification of publications, assigning to each article the identifier of the digital object (DOI), which greatly accelerated the search for the location of the article on the Internet. In future it is planned to publish the English-language version of the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety for its development. In order to obtain information about the publication activity of the journal in March 2015, a counter of readers' references to the materials posted on the site from 2005 to the present which is placed on the journal's website. During 2015 - 2016 years on average there were no more than 100-170 handlings per day. Publication of a number of articles, as well as electronic versions of profile monographs and collections in the public domain, dramatically increased the number of handlings to the journal's website to 500 - 800 per day, and the total number of visits to the site at the end of 2017 was more than 230.000.

ABSTRACT

Thirty years is the time period allowing to estimate success of the held events for elimination of medical consequences of the accident on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. In the article the analysis of the next and remote consequences at affected three groups is carried out: direct participants (witnesses) of accident, clean-up workers in 30 km zone, inhabitants of the contaminated territories. From 134 survivors survivors in the period of the main clinical manifestations 28 people have died. The main reasons for death was local radiation injuries, infectious complications, a hemorrhagic syndrome. It is known of 26 patients deaths in the remote period after the acute radiation syndrome. From them 5 people have died of various oncohematological diseases that, undoubtedly, is stochastic effect of radiation. Other causes of death were usual, typical for the population of Russia in the relevant age groups. In the subsequent medical supervision over this group of persons has to be continued, especially for those in whom changes in critical bodies for radiation are found: in a thyroid gland, skin and bone marrow. Lifelong medical supervision is important for this group of victims. Comparison of frequency of death of clean-up workers from the accident with groups of the men living in the cities of Russia of the same age confirms absence of additional risk of deaths from the main nosological forms among liquidators. Medical supervision over the persons living in the contaminated territories hasn’t revealed any deviations in incidence and mortality in comparison with not irradiated population of Russia, except the increase in frequency of cancer of thyroid gland at the patients who have undergone radiative effects at children’s age.

Key words: Chernobyl NPP, radiation accident, acute radiation syndrome, clean-up workers, inhabitants of the contaminated territories

ABSTRACT

The article deals with the nature, idea and contents, time and sequence of taking protective measures to mitigate consequences and effects of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP in April 1986. The special focus is on the direct organizational participation of the Third Main Directorate of the Ministry of Health of the USSR - the predecessor of the current successor of the case - FMBA of Russia. The article describes the radiation health care standards developed by the experts in this period, control indicators and methodology to monitor the radiological situation and assure safety during the aftermath operations, as well as improving the scientific bases of radiation medicine and emergency response, taking into account the experience of the treatment of victims. Problems and prospects of further regulation and enhancement of the system of radiation safety in the country are reviewed and justified.

Key words: NPP, victims, medical and radiation health care activities, protective measures, emergency response, radiation safety regulation

ABSTRACT

April 26, 1986 a tragedy occurred: a reactor exploded at Chernobyl. It has been written quite a lot about this tragedy. Different estimates of this event are given, including opportunistic and absolutely not qualified. The article describes the situation in the first weeks after the accident, that is, that the author saw with his own eyes. The author himself was involved in the organization of treatment of irradiated patients in the hospital 6 and took part in the liquidation of the accident at the Chernobyl reactor disaster zone area, and 30-km zone.

Key words: nuclear accident, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, treatment of irradiated patients, the protection of emergency workers, measures for liquidation of the accident

ABSTRACT

Purpose: The analysis of the radiobiological aspects of emergency response: hygienic criteria for radiation protection of the population in various phases of the accident, radiation zoning, the achievements and shortcomings of the measures taken, comparison of the scientific basis, used for government decision-making, with modern approaches and criteria.

Material and methods: The study was carried out by studying the experience of the implementation of specific actions for localization of the source at the nuclear plant and radiation protection of the population in the first post-accident years, under the condition of really existed decision-making system for emergency situations at the time of the accident.

Results: The basic results and radiological consequences of the emergency work for accident localization at the site and in a 30-km zone are formulated. The degree of safety of emergency radiationhygienic regulations for the liquidators was estimated. Efficiency of the main ways of population protection in the early phase of the accident was investigated: public shelter, population evacuation, iodine prophylaxis. Processes of radiation zoning on the basis of dose approach (L.A. Ilyin, Y.A. Izrael) - the most important remedies implemented in the intermediate and late phases of the accident were analyzed. It was discussed in detail, in practical terms, one of the main short-term and long-term remedies - hygienic regulation of the content of radionuclides in food.

Conclusion: With the exception of iodine prophylaxis, remedies for public radiation protection were timely, helped to avoid deterministic effects of radiological exposure and reduces the longterm consequences. Later, the establishment of the iodine prophylaxis would require a large-scale of health care operations in contaminated areas associated with early diagnosis and treatment of victims. Activities of radiation protection at a late stage of the accident were excessive and ceased to be priority in comparison to other directions of rehabilitation.

Key words: radiation protection, population, radiation dose, standards, permissible levels, food products
