In a randomly selected group of subjects the uptake of iodine radioisotopes was measured over the thyroid in the period May 6-23, 1986. From the obtained results the doses were estimated which were absorbed from April 28, 1986 until the time of complete disappearance of I131 from the thyroid. The highest dose of radiation absorbed from I131 by the thyroid was found in the youngest group (children aged 5 to 12 years) and it was 227.8 mGy (about 23 rads).
