Comparative Characteristics of Radiation Accidents with Population Exposures

M.M. Kossenko

Data are presented on certain characteristics and health effects of five radiation accidents which lead to population exposures at the following sites: plutonium separation plant in Windscale, Three Mile Island and Chernobyl APS, the Kyshtym accident and the river Techa in Russia. Deterministic effects of exposure were registered following three accidents that occurred in the former USSR. The risk assessment for somatic stochastic effects was based on the follow-up of the population exposed on the Techa, which was 0.48 - 1.1 per 104 PY Gy for leukaemia and 0.65 per Gy for solid cancers.
