Notizen:
The radiological consequences on the population of a borax accidentin 1994 in the Tammuz 2 nuclear reactor have been postulated. Doseequivalents resulting from the atmospheric release of radionuclidesduring the accident have been estimated for distances ranging from theexclusion zone to 100km from the reactor. Gamma submersion, betasubmersion doses from the plume, inhalation doses and surface exposuredoses have been estimated for various exposure times. Dose equivalentsestimated for the site boundary for an exposure time of 24 hours were1.42 - 10mSv. Accordingly, it seemed that the consequences of theaccident on the population living around Tuwaitha site could only takethe form of stochastic radiation, such as the induction of cancers, andheredity.
