ABSTRACT

Purpose: Estimation of health liquidators of the Chernobyl accident. Estimation of risk of malignant tumors at doses of different types of ionizing radiation on humans.

Material and methods: The study was conducted with the use of a database of information of employees of enterprises and organizations GK “Rosatom”. For the calculation of risk was used professional exposure and doses which were received during 30 km zone.

Results: It shows a feature of the dynamics of morbidity of liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, as a “closed population”. It is shown in a study that the use of one of their parts of the total radiation dose of man, leads to obtaining of different levels of the risk of disease by cancer.

Conclusion: Feature incidence dynamics in the “closed” population must be considered in its interpretation and the development of preventive measures. Only the use of a total radiation dose can lead to obtaining of the correct results of evaluating the risk of the appearance of the radiation- induced diseases.

Key words: the register of the liquidators, the Chernobyl accident, risk of cancer, doses of different types of radiation, the total dose
