RADIOACTIVITY LEVEL OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND XINJIANG NUCLEAR TESTING SITE AND ESTIMATED POPULATION DOSE

RADIOACTIVITY LEVEL OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND XINJIANG NUCLEAR TESTING SITE AND ESTIMATED POPULATION DOSE 1 first-author 1 1 1 1 1 Xinjiang Institute of Radiological Medicine and Protection, Wulumuqi, 830011, China Xinjiang Institute of Radiological Medicine and Protection, Wulumuqi, 830011, China Results are reported on a research for the radioactive level in the investigation region and the control region around the Xinjiang Nuclear Testing Site from 1982 to 1987. There are no significant differences on the land γ radiation level, nor in the radioactive level in the soil, food and water between the two regions. The distribution and transfer of 90 Sr, 137 Cs and Pu in various kinds of soil are also discussed. It is estimated that the effective dose equivalent of radiation. undergone by the residents around the Testing Site is only 2.9% of that of natural radiation taken yearly by people in normal areas.
