    Abstract:
    The method for the assessment of the rural inhabitants internal dose lived in areas of the Republic of Belarus contaminated by the Chernobyl radionuclides was developed. The model is based on the individual internal doses, calculated by the WBC measurements. The data of WBC measurements of the State Dosimetric Register are used for direct assessment of internal irradiation dose, and as a basis for the model development. The dose assessment model is based on the classification of contaminated territories on the regional features of the soils, which cause 137Cs intaking with locally produced foods. The model is also based on regression of daily 137Cs intake on the density contamination of the soil. Such regression model had been made for each region. The influence of indirect factors had been taken into consideration in the dose assessment. These factors are: the number of settlement population, and the forest area around it. Its influents had been taken as correction factors. The factors had been determined from the regression model of the correction factors on a specific forest area for each region.
