LEUKEMIA FOLLOWING THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT

Health Physics, 2007
The accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine in 1986 led to a substantial increase of thyroid cancer among those exposed as children. The other cancer that is the most sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiation is leukemia, and this paper evaluates the evidence relating exposure to Chernobyl radioactivity and leukemia risk.

The Accident at Chernobyl and the Medical Response

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986
THE EXPLOSION and fire at the Chernobyl number 4 nuclear power plant on April 26, 1986, was the most significant nuclear event—in terms of acute injuries and deaths, the amount of radioactivity released into the environment, the size of the affected area, and the probable magnitude of long-term consequences—since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Simulation of the chernobyl accident

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1988
Abstract An analysis of the April 26, 1986 accident at the Chernobyl-4 nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union is presented. The peak calculated core power during the accident was 550 000 MW t . The analysis provides insights that further understanding of the plant behavior during the accident. The plant was modeled with the RELAP5/MOD2 computer code

Chernobyl Accident

Health Physics, 1999
The Chernobyl accident in April 1986 resulted in widespread contamination of the environment with radioactive materials, including (131)I and other radioiodines. This environmental contamination led to substantial radiation doses in the thyroids of many inhabitants of the Republic of Belarus. The reconstruction of thyroid doses received by Belarussians

Chernobyl Post-Accident Management

Health Physics, 1999
ETHOS is a pilot research project supported by the radiation protection research program of the European Commission (DG XII). The project provides an alternative approach to the rehabilitation of living conditions in the contaminated territories of the CIS in the post-accident context of Chernobyl.

The accident at Chernobyl and trisomy 21 in Finland

Mutation Research/DNAging, 1992
Our objective was to explore whether the radiation fallout in Finland after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in April 1986 led to an increased incidence of trisomy 21. In this geographic and temporal cohort study, the country was divided into three zones according to the amounts of radioactive fallout and internal radiation caused by ...

Thyroid consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear accident

Acta Paediatrica, 1999
It is well recognized that the use of external irradiation of the head and neck to treat patients with various non‐thyroid disorders increases their risk of developing papillary thyroid carcinoma years after radiation exposure. An increased risk of thyroid cancer has also been reported in survivors of the atomic bombs in Japan, as well as in Marshall ...

The Chernobyl Accident

Abstract This chapter discusses the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, which had far-reaching consequences, with radioactive fallout spreading across Europe. This account notes that there have been divergent views about this event, ranging from the Chernobyl Forum’s estimate of 4,000 eventual deaths to Greenpeace’s claim that there were 200,000 ...
