This work reports on the reconstruction of radiation exposure at the former village of Metlino in Southern Urals, Russia within the SOLO project (Epidemiological Studies of Exposed Southern Urals Populations) funded by the European Union. Metlino is located 7 km from the Mayak Production Association (PA) at an area of the Techa river that was exposed to a considerable amount of radiation circa 60 years ago. Today the Mayak worker cohort (MWC), the extended Techa River cohort (ETRC), and the Techa River offspring cohort (TROC), are amongst the most important sources of late health effects associated with low-dose rate exposure to plutonium, strontium and external gamma radiation.
