DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED DOSIMETRY SYSTEM FOR THE WORKERS AT THE MAYAK PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION

Health Physics, 2000
Databases are being created that contain verified and updated dosimetry and worker history information for workers at the Mayak Production Association. Many workers had significant external and internal exposures, particularly during the early years (1948-1952) of operation.

Colloid Transport of Plutonium in the Far-Field of the Mayak Production Association, Russia

Science, 2006
Sorption of actinides, particularly plutonium, onto submicrometer-sized colloids increases their mobility, but these plutonium colloids are difficult to detect in the far-field. We identified actinides on colloids in the groundwater from the Mayak Production Association, Urals, Russia; at the source, the plutonium activity is ∼1000 becquerels per liter.

THE “CLINIC” MEDICAL-DOSIMETRIC DATABASE OF MAYAK PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION WORKERS: STRUCTURE, CHARACTERISTICS AND PROSPECTS OF UTILIZATION

Health Physics, 2008
To study early (deterministic) and long-term effects of radiation exposure, the "Clinic" medical-dosimetric database for the Mayak Production Association worker cohort has been established at the Southern Urals Biophysics Institute (SUBI). This paper describes the principles of organization, structure and prospects of future utilization of this ...

Development of an Inhalation Intake Model for 241Am Based on Mayak Production Association Worker Data

Health Physics, 2013
Americium-241 is a significant radiation hazard at facilities that handle or reprocess spent nuclear fuels. An inhalation intake model for 241Am was developed using autopsy data obtained from former workers at the Radiochemical and Plutonium Production Plants at the Mayak Production Association (Mayak PA), Ozyorsk, Russia.

[Role of occupational radiation in oncologic morbidity among "Mayak" production association workers].

Meditsina truda i promyshlennaia ekologiia, 2009
Retrospective study with "case-control" method revealed increased risk of gastric cancer among "Mayak" production association workers subjected to prolonged general external gamma-radiation in overall dose over 3.0 Gy. Major role in gaster cancer among "Mayak" production association workers was played by nonradiation factors: chronic gastritis with ...

Reconstruction of the contamination of the Techa River in 1949–1951 as a result of releases from the “MAYAK” Production Association

Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 2012
More accurate reconstruction of the radioactive contamination of the Techa River system in 1949-1951 has been made on the basis of refined data on the amounts and the rate of discharge of radionuclides into the Techa River from the Mayak Production Association; this has led to the development of a modified Techa River model that describes the transport

REEVALUATION OF WATERBORNE RELEASES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS FROM THE MAYAK PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION INTO THE TECHA RIVER IN 1949–1951

Health Physics, 2011
The Mayak Production Association was the first site for the production of weapons-grade plutonium in Russia. Early operations led to the waterborne release of radioactive materials into the small Techa River. Residents living downstream used river water for drinking and other purposes.

Sorption of Pu(IV) in the polymeric colloidal form on rock typical of Mayak Production Association area

Radiochemistry, 2009
Sorption of colloids of polymeric Pu from simulated groundwater on a rock typical of Mayak Production Association area was studied. In 20 days, polymeric Pu with the particle size exceeding 220 nm is 99% sorbed by the rock with the distribution coefficient Kd = 1880.
