Article Synopsis
- Several hundred thousand "liquidators" worked in the Chernobyl exclusion zone from 1986 to 1990 to decontaminate the area following the nuclear disaster.
- Due to inadequate monitoring, a new method called RADRUE was developed to accurately estimate radiation exposure and inform epidemiologic studies on health impacts, particularly hematological malignancies and thyroid cancer.
- Using interviews and expert input, RADRUE assessed individual radiation doses, revealing a wide range of exposure levels, with average doses for bone marrow at 71 mGy and thyroid at 29 mGy.
