Exposures from aquatic pathways

Abstract

Methods for estimation aquatic pathways contribution to the total population exposure are discussed. Aquatic pathways are the major factor for radionuclides spreading from the Chernobyl Exclusion zone. An annual outflow of {sup 90}Sr and {sup 137}Cs comprised 10-20 TBq and 2-4 TBq respectively and the population exposed by this effluence constitutes almost 30 million people. The dynamic of doses from {sup 90}Sr and '{sup C}s, which Dnieper water have to delivered, is calculated. The special software has been developed to simulate the process of dose formation in the of diverse Dnieper regions. Regional peculiarities of municipal tap, fishing and irrigation are considered. Seventy-year prediction of dose structure and function of dose forming is performed. The exposure is estimated for 12 regions of the Dnieper basin and the Crimea. The maximal individual annual committed effective doses due to the use of water by ordinary members of the population in Kiev region from {sup 90}Sr and {sup 137}Cs in 1986 are 1.7*10{sup -5} Sv and 2.7*10{sup -5} Sv respectively. A commercial fisherman on Kiev reservoir in 1986 received 4.7*10{sup -4} Sv and 5*10{sup -3} Sv from {sup 90}Sr and {sup 137}Cs, respectively. The contributions to the collective cumulative (over 70 years) committed  More>>

The contributions to the collective cumulative (over 70 years) committed effective dose (CCCED{sub 70}) of irrigation, municipal tap water and fish consumption for members of the population respectively are 18%, 43%, 39% in Kiev region, 8%, 25%, 67% in Poltava region, and 50%, 50%, 0% (consumption of Dnieper fish is absent) in the Crimea. The predicted contribution of the Strontium-90 to CCCED{sub 70} resulting from the use of water is 80%. The CCCED{sub 70} to the population of the Dnieper regions (32.5 million people) is 3000 person-Sv due to the use the Dnieper water.}
