    Abstract:
    Materials of the investigation of victims of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant were used for the estimation of a contribution of exposure with incorporated radionuclides to a course of acute radiation syndrome thyroid and pulmonary lesions. Attention was granted to patients who died as a result of accidental exposure. Dose values of thyroid, pulmonary and total body exposure were given. The severity of the affection of the bronchopulmonary and hypophysial-thyroid systems was assessed. The results of cytogenetic investigations to estimate absorbed doses were represented for some persons. Internal exposure was shown to make a considerable effect on the development of acute radiation syndrome in two persons only, internal whole-body exposure doses being compatible with a total exposure dose.
