1 IAEA International Conference on Global Emergency Preparedness and Response DOSE ASSESSMENT IN POPULATION LIVING ON CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES AT THE REMOTE PERIOD AFTER THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT N. Vlasova, A. Rozhko, Yu. Visenberg, E. Drozd Radiation Protection Division Republican Research Center for Radiation Medicine & Human Ecology, Ministry of Health, Belarus

2 METHODS FOR DOSE ASSESSMENT MODELS DETERMINISTIC Soil Plants Animals Human PHENOMENOLOGICAL Empirical data on radiological environment Radioecological model ECOSYS-87 (H. Muller, G. Prőhl) Ecological model s elements & parameters corrected by the WBCmeasurements (I.A. Likhtarev, P. Jacob) D= K milk *С milk + K pot *С pot K milk, K pot coefficients ofrelationship between specific activity of 137 Cs in milk & potato and dose; С milk, С pot average specific activity of 137 Cs in milk, potato in a settlement q = 1*С milk + 1,5*C pot q = 1,5*С milk

13 IMPLEMENTATION The Catalogue of AAED of Settlements of Belarus, along with the density of soil contamination is the basis for next in turn regular document of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus for classification of the settlements by zones of radioactive contamination. It will be actual for the period
