Dose rate effect on mortality from ischemic heart disease in the cohort of Russian Mayak Production Association workers [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
For improvement of the radiation protection system it is crucial to know the factors that modify the radiation dose–response relationship. One of such key factors is the ionizing radiation dose rate.

Incidence risk of hepatobiliary malignant neoplasms in the cohort of workers chronically exposed to ionizing radiation [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The increased risk of liver malignancies was found in workers of the first Russian nuclear production facility, Mayak Production Association, who had been chronically exposed to gamma rays externally and to alpha particles internally due to plutonium ...

The risk of basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin cancer incidence and external radiation in the updated National Registry for radiation workers cohort in the UK. [PDF]

Int J Cancer
What's new? While ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main risk factor for non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), additional factors contribute to NMSC development. The present study examined the impact of occupational radiation exposure on NMSC risk among radiation workers in the United Kingdom.

Adverse Outcome Pathways Applied to Space Radiation Research. [PDF]

Environ Mol Mutagen
ABSTRACT Long‐duration spaceflight exposes astronauts to various stressors that can alter human physiology, potentially causing immediate and long‐term health effects. These stressors can damage biomolecules, cells, tissues, and organs, leading to adverse outcomes.

Effect of the Resorcinol/Formaldehyde Ratio and the Temperature of the Resorcinol–Formaldehyde Gel Solidification on the Chemical Stability and Sorption Characteristics of Ion-Exchange Resins [PDF]

Gels, 2021
A series of resorcinol–formaldehyde resins (RFR) samples for Cs-137 removal from liquid alkaline media have been synthesized. It has been demonstrated that the chemical stability as well as sorption characteristics are determined by the resorcinol ...

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Consequences of the radiation accident at the Mayak production association in 1957 (the ’Kyshtym Accident’)

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2017
This paper presents an overview of the nuclear accident that occurred at the Mayak Production Association (PA) in the Russian Federation on 29 September 1957, often referred to as 'Kyshtym Accident', when 20 MCi (740 PBq) of radionuclides were released by a chemical explosion in a radioactive waste storage tank.
