DETAILS

For nearly 30 years, the United States and the Russian Federation have cooperated in radiation effects research focused on the workers at, and the public around, the Mayak Production Association in the Southern Urals region north of Chelyabinsk/south of Ekaterinburg. The studies have included about 30,000 monitored workers in the nuclear facilities and over 60,000 members of the effected public in the region, with up to 75 years of multi-generational follow-up. The workshop will summarize the key scientific advances and findings of the dosimetric and epidemiological studies of that research, and describe how they have been incorporated in ICRP recommendations, as well as the areas of potentially productive future research.
