ASSESSMENT OF THE COMMITTED EFFECTIVE DOSE EQUIVALENT AND ITS UNCERTAINTY FROM INCIDENTAL INTERNAL TRITIUM EXPOSURE.

The objective of the study was to estimate the committed effective dose equivalent from internal tritium exposure and its uncertainty in case of tritium incident at Mayak PA. According to worker's self-report, he had been exposed as a result of pouring "heavy" water over himself while performing technological operation in September 2019. Two-component exponential model of tritiated water (HTO) excretion including fast and slow phases was used to describe HTO content in the body.

Tritium in environmental objects in the area affected by FSUE Mayak Production Association in 2014-15.

Comparison of tritium volume activity (VA) rates in objects of environment in the Mayak Production Association (Mayak PA) affected area in the period from 2014 to 2015 with tritium VA rates in the same or similar objects of environment measured in the period from 2001 to 2013. Water samples from environmental objects-precipitations, ponds, wells-were the material for this research. Tritium VA in various environmental objects was measured using liquid scintillation method.
