Abstract
Individual dose measurements in highly contaminated areas in the Brjansk region of Russia are presented. The measurement programme comprised 285 persons living in six different villages, with contamination levels ranging from 0.8 to 2.3 MBq.m −2 of 137 Cs. The measurements were performed in the month of September in the years 1990, 1991 and 1992, with three participating dosimetry laboratories. Mean monthly dose values between 148 and 287 μSv were recorded, including a natural background contribution of 60 μSv. Not unexpectedly, people with outdoor occupations living in wooden houses received the highest doses. The most heavily contaminated vilIages were also most effectively decontaminated. The effect of this is clearly reflected in the dose data
