The Chernobyl Reference Horizon (?) in the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
, 1989 Published reports of the presence of radioactive debris from the Chernobyl reactor accident in snow on the Greenland ice sheet raised the strong prospect that such debris might constitute a valuable time stratigraphic marker all over the ice sheet. Large

Radioactive fallout and neural tube defects
Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2015 Possible link between radioactivity and the occurrence of neural tube defects is a long lasting debate since the Chernobyl nuclear fallout in 1986. A recent report on the incidence of neural defects in the west coast of USA, following Fukushima disaster,

Global risk of radioactive fallout after major nuclear reactor accidents [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 Major reactor accidents of nuclear power plants are rare, yet the consequences are catastrophic. But what is meant by "rare"? And what can be learned from the Chernobyl and Fukushima incidents?

Dosimetry of external population exposure: a comparison of the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents
Радиационная гигиена, 2020 The paper is devoted to comparing the models and the doses of the population external exposure from radioactive fallout after the accident at the Chernobyl and Fukushima-1 NPPs estimated with their help. In the case of the Fukushima-1 accident, the model

RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM FALLOUT [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1956 Hazards from /sup 90/Sr deposited in fallout following nuclear explosions are reviewed. Strontium/sup 90/ is of particular interest among the fission products because of chemical similarity to Ca, an average life of about 40 years, and a low rate of skeletal elimination.

Dosimetry study of East Kazakhstan residents by tooth enamel EPR spectroscopy
E3S Web of Conferences, 2017 The tooth enamel electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry method was used to determine accidental doses of population of settlements in the vicinity of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS), Kazakhstan. The influence of four explosions to the
