Abstract: | The effective doses from fish in the Aegean Sea have been calculated for the nuclide137Cs covering the period 1975–1982. The effective dose varies between 3×10–5 and 10×10–5 mSv y–1 for adults and 14×10–5 to 56×10–5 mSv y–1 for children, while the cumulative effective dose for the period 1975–1982 equals to 40.86×10–5 and 229.57×10–5 for both adults and children of 10 y old, respectively. When compared to doses derived from the Chernobyl accident /May 1986/ it was found that the additional dose incurred by Greek individuals in May 1986 was approximately equal to the cumulative dose of 8 y contribution period /1975–1982/ for adults and to a year's contribution for children of 10 y old. |
