Abstract
Mean annual occupational exposures are reported for radiation workers at the first Russian industrial nuclear facility ‘Mayak’, South Ural region, for the period 1948–1988. The underlying individual doses originate from the register of the in-plant radiation safety department and are based on local film dosimetry results. Differentiation is made between personnel working at reactor and radiochemical processing plants. Verification of summed film doses is performed by means of ESR dose reconstruction using extracted teeth from selected individuals. Explanations are given for observed discrepancies between the reconstructed individual doses and original integrated film dosimetry results. The research potential of combined dose information from specific tooth enamel and dentine are shown.
