Radiation doses in countries of the northern hemisphere from the chernobyl nuclear reactor accident
AbstractRadionuclides released from the Chernobyl accident have been dispersed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Values are collected here of the estimates so far provided of the resultant radiation exposures in countries. The collective effective dose equivalent commitment is of the order of 800,000 man Sv. Average individual dose commitments outside the USSR range up to 4 mSv, which is approximately twice the normal annual dose from natural background radiation. The estimated average doses in countries decrease in a regular fashion with distances from the accident site.
