Mortality from cancer and non-cancer diseases in the Lithuanian cohort of Chernobyl cleanup workers (2001-2020). [PDF]

Int J Cancer
What's new? Following the Chernobyl disaster, workers were recruited from formerly Soviet‐occupied areas, including Lithuania, to participate in clean‐up efforts. Radiation exposure incurred by workers during these efforts offers a unique opportunity for the study of long‐term health effects.

Radioactivity data analysis of 137Cs in marine sediments near severely damaged Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020
Using several accessible published data sets, we analyzed the temporal change of 137Cs radioactivity (per unit mass of sample) in marine sediments and investigated the effect of the water content of sediment on the 137Cs radioactivity, to understand the ...
