near the Chernobyl plant site. Radiation damage correlates with the radiation dose incurred by people and biota. Dose is a quantity related to the amount of radiation energy absorbed by the mass of biological matter. The dose incurred by people is expressed in Sieverts and. most com-monly, in the submultiple millisieverts — one IAEA BULLETIN ...
by radiation exposure due to the Chernobyl accident — or indeed the impact of the stress and anxiety induced by the accident and the response to it. Small differences in the assumptions concerning radiation risks can lead to large differences in the predicted health consequences, which are therefore highly uncertain. An international expert
