- Abstract
The objective of the study was comparison of the doses received due to contamination of the Techa River with those received from the indoor radon exposure. The study was performed on the example of Muslyumovo, the village closest to Mayak nuclear complex. The accidental doses were estimated using data on radionuclide intakes and ICRP-72 dose coefficients, and Techa River Dosimetry System. Radon exposure was estimated applying results of the radon surveys in 1992 and 2015. The doses prevented by means of different protection measures were considered. The maximum reduction of population exposure could be achieved in the case of timely evacuation to uncontaminated territory together with the indoor radon prevention measures.
