Tritium in environmental objects in the area affected by FSUE Mayak Production Association in 2014–15

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2021
Abstract Comparison of tritium volume activity (VA) rates in objects of environment in the Mayak Production Association (Mayak PA) affected area in the period from 2014 to 2015 with tritium VA rates in the same or similar objects of environment measured in the period from 2001 to 2013.

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.

Experience and the results of emergency management of the 1957 accident at the Mayak Production Association

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2018
The experience accumulated while dealing with the aftermath of a major nuclear accident (the 'Kyshtym Accident') in 1957 at the Mayak complex in the Southern Urals of Russia is summarised. Information is presented on the causes of the accident, on the radiation environment and radioactive contamination of the affected territory in the critical period ...

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.

UNCERTAINTIES ANALYSIS OF DOSES RESULTING FROM CHRONIC INHALATION OF PLUTONIUM AT THE MAYAK PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION

Health Physics, 2005
A method is presented to determine the uncertainties in the reported dose due to incorporated plutonium for the Mayak Worker Cohort. The methodology includes errors generated by both detection methods and modeling methods. To accomplish the task, the method includes classical statistics, Monte Carlo, perturbation, and reliability groupings ...

Accumulation, Organ Distribution, and Excretion Kinetics of 241Am in Mayak Production Association Workers

Health Physics, 2013
Americium-241 (²⁴¹Am) is the second most significant radiation hazard after ²³⁹Pu at some of the Mayak Production Association facilities. This study summarizes current data on the accumulation, distribution, and excretion of americium compared with plutonium in different organs from former Mayak PA workers.

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
