LEUKEMIA FOLLOWING THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT
Health Physics, 2007The 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.

Simulation of the chernobyl accident
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1988Abstract 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

Thyroid consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear accident
Acta Paediatrica, 1999It 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 ...

Human cytogenetic consequences of the Chernobyl accident
Mutation Research/Environmental Mutagenesis and Related Subjects, 1996The frequency of chromosomal aberrations was evaluated in more than 500 liquidators of the Chernobyl accident. The 'sarcophagus' builders and the dosimetrists showed the highest frequency of aberrations per 100 cells: 3.24 +/- 0.25 and 3.11 +/- 0.43. For Chernobyl Atomic Power Station staff members the mean frequencies of aberrations per 100 cells was ...
