Abstract

The effi ciency of various countermeasures (radioprotective measures) in agricultural production at the radionuclide-contaminated territories after the radiation accidents in the South Ural, at the Chernobyl NPP and NPP Fukushima I are compared. The infl uence of these accidents on the decreasing of radionuclides uptake and accumulation in plant-breading and animal-breeding products, and consequently, on internal radiation dose for the human being due to foodstuffs varies in different conditions and mainly depends on radionuclide composition of contamination, soil type and manufacturing profi le of production.
