Abstract

The principles of radiation protection for the population in Austria as applied in context with the catastrophic releases of radioactivity from the Chernobyl nuclear power reactor are presented. The main results of the first air filter analyses, which allowed an identification of the problem are discussed. The following measurements show, that after radioactive decay of Iodine-131, the main route for intake of Cäsium-137 will be ingestion with the foodstuffs over a longer period. Dose estimations give 80 to 100 mrem/year (0.8 to 1.0 mSv/a) effective committed dose equivalent caused by the nuclear accident.
