Abstract

The basis of the methodological approach to the assessment of individualized external radiation dose in people affected after the Chernobyl accident is the ascertained gender and age peculiarities in formation of an individual external dose. Seven age-gender groups that differ significantly as per their average value of external radiation dose have been singled out. A relation was found between the average external dose of the age-gender groups and that of a settlement, expressed in «coefficient of individualization», whose values are determined for each age-gender group. The methodological approach of the assessment of individual external doses was tested. The difference between the calculated and instrumentally measured external radiation doses was at an average 21 %.
