If the first group of changes occurs proportionally to the individual irradiation dose, so the second group is reliably tracked by the calculation of the collective irradiation dose. The damage caused to public health by the Chernobyl accident is approximately 20 times smaller than by nuclear explosions in Hirosima and Nagasaki. The principles to develop the new normative documents on radiation safety are presented.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
