Abstract
Abstract Cesium 137/134 levels were measured in various tissues of persons who died in accidents in Thessaloniki region, Greece, 8 to 10 months after the Chernobyl reactor accident. The highest level (mean 370 Bq Kg −1 for 137 Cs and 160 Bq Kg −1 for 134 Cs) was found in muscle seven months after the accident. The average cesium body burden 250 days after the accident was calculated to be 17,630 Bq for 137 Cs in standard man, 70 Kg, and 7,625 Bq for 134 Cs. The above activities correspond to a dose equivalent 1 mSv (100 mrem) for the first year of exposure.
