Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukaemia incidence in regions of Belarus most heavily contaminated by the Chernobyl accident. [PDF]

Int J Cancer
What's new? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.

The Reverse Risk Register Approach to Understanding Systemic Factors in Risk Analysis and Management Case Studies. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Although recent developments have improved clarity on the characteristics of high‐quality risk science, there is recognition that many of those characteristics relate to specific tasks taken by the risk analyst. However, the effectiveness of risk analysis and management often relies on both internal risk team activities and other external ...

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.

An Aerial Gamma Ray Survey of the Surrounding Area of Sizewell Nuclear Power Station [PDF]

, 1997
<p>An airborne gamma ray survey of the surroundings of the Sizewell nuclear power station was conducted to define the present levels of radiation background for reference purposes. A twin engine helicopter fitted with a high volume NaI detector and

Fibroblasts from bank voles inhabiting Chernobyl have increased resistance against oxidative and DNA stresses

BMC Cell Biology, 2018
Background Elevated levels of environmental ionizing radiation can be a selective pressure for wildlife by producing reactive oxygen species and DNA damage. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that are affected are not known. Results We isolated

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 ...

Аnalysis of studies presented in articles on mitigation of biomedical consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant worldwide (1986–2018)

Радиационная гигиена, 2021
A lack of accessible information about the demand for domestic articles on the mitigation of consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the early post-accident period necessitates referring to publications presented in ...

Are passive smoking, air pollution and obesity a greater mortality risk than major radiation incidents? [PDF]

, 2007
Background Following a nuclear incident, the communication and perception of radiation risk becomes a (perhaps the) major public health issue. In response to such incidents it is therefore crucial to communicate radiation health risks in the context of ...
