Abstract

Results of strontium-90 and cesium-137 control in food products in Russia after the Cernobyl power plant accident in 1986-1988 are summed up. Annual intake of radionuclides with individual food products and with ration on the whole was calculated. Maximal year intake of Sr-90 and Cs-137 with ration were accordingly 1% and 0.7% of the threshold annual intake for category B. Assessment of the mean effective equivalent doze (EED) of internal irradiation for Russia in 1986-1988 years was made; maximal addition to annual EED of internal irradiation realized in 1986 made up 2% from the mean annual EED of natural background.
