“…The doses due to another significant surface nuclear test conducted on 24 August 1956 have been estimated for residents of Ust-Kamenogorsk, Znamenka and some other settlements located close to radioactive fallout plume (Zhumadilov et al, 2009, Zhumadilov et al, 2011band Zhumadilov et al, 2013. The average nuclear-testrelated EPR doses were in the range 17-41 mGy, which is consistent with estimations based on the official registered data.…”

“…EPR tooth dosimetry research started to grow rapidly after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 (Aldrich and Pass, 1988, Shimano et al, 1989and Ikeya and Ishii, 1989, which resulted in maturation of the EPR technique with tooth enamel. The technique has been verified through several intercomparisons (Chumak et al, 1996, Wieser et al, 2000a and was applied for dose reconstruction of A-bomb victims (Ikeya et al, 1984 andNakamura et al, 1998), Chernobyl liquidators , the population in territories contaminated due to the Chernobyl accident (Skvortzov et al, 1995, Skvortzov et al, 2000, Ivannikov et al, 1997, Ivannikov et al, 2004band Ivannikov et al, 2014, residents near the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS, Kazakhstan) , Zhumadilov et al, 2009, Zhumadilov et al, 2011a, Zhumadilov et al, 2011b, Zhumadilov et al, 2013Ivannikov et al, 2002, Pivovarov et al, 2002and Sholom et al, 2007a, and the inhabitants of the Techa River basin affected by the operation of the Mayak Production Association , Degteva et al, 2005, Degteva et al, 2015.…”

“…46 A slightly different radiological issue related to atmospheric releases from the MPA facility has also been investigated. Brick samples from several buildings in the city of Ozyorsk, located 8-10 km downwind from the release points, were tested to establish the potential exposure of inhabitants to radiation from releases of radioactive argon, krypton and xenon within the period 1948-1956(Woda et al, 2009b). …”

“…Most EPR doses for inhabitants of areas near the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site have been determined by a common team of Kazakh, Russian and Japanese researchers (Ivannikov et al, 2002, Zhumadilov et al, 2009, Zhumadilov et al, 2011a, Zhumadilov et al, 2011b, Zhumadilov et al, 2013.

HIGHLIGHTSReview of the use of luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance in retrospective and emergency dosimetry.Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) results on biological and physical materials.Descriptions of use in emergency and retrospective dosimetry, following large-scale radiological events.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350448716302359 ABSTRACTThis paper reviews recent research on the application of the physical dosimetry techniques of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and luminescence (optically stimulated luminescence, OSL, and thermoluminescence, TL) to determine radiation dose following catastrophic, large-scale radiological events. Such data are used in dose reconstruction to obtain estimates of dose due to the exposure to external sources of radiation, primarily gamma radiation, by individual members of the public and by populations. The EPR and luminescence techniques have been applied to a wide range of radiological studies, including nuclear bomb detonation (e.g., Hiroshima and Nagasaki) nuclear power plant accidents (e.g., Chernobyl), radioactive pollution (e.g., Mayak plutonium facility), and in the future could include terrorist events involving the dispersal of radioactive materials. In this review we examine the application of these techniques in 'emergency' and 'retrospective' modes of operation that are conducted on two distinct timescales. For emergency dosimetry immediate action to evaluate dose to individuals following radiation exposure is required to assess deterministic biological effects and to enable rapid medical triage. Retrospective dosimetry, on the other hand, contributes to the reconstruction of doses to populations and individuals following external exposure, and contributes to the long-term study of stochastic processes and the consequential epidemiological effects. Although internal exposure, via ingestion of radionuclides for example, can be a potentially significant contributor to dose, this review is confined to those dose components arising from exposure to external radiation, which in most studies is gamma radiation.The nascent emergency dosimetry measurement techniques aim to perform direct dose evaluations for individuals who, as members of the public, are most unlikely to be carrying a dosimeter issued for radiation monitoring purposes in the event of a radiation incident. Hence attention has focused on b...

“…On 24 August 1956, the nuclear explosion with 27 kiloton total yield took place, which contaminated a territory to the east from the hypocenter and near Ust-Kamenogorsk city, Znamenka, Glubokoe, Tavriya, Gagarino and Shemonaikha settlements with radioactive fallout [9,10]. On 12 August 1953, the first thermonuclear explosion with 400 kiloton total yield took place, which contaminated the territory to the south from the hypocenter and near Sarzhal village with radioactive fallout [4,11,12].…”

Abstract. The tooth enamel electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry method was used to determine accidental doses of population of settlements in the vicinity of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS), Kazakhstan. The influence of four explosions to the populations was included into this report. The distances between investigated settlements and Ground Zero (SNTS) are in the range of 70-200 km from SNTS. Most of settlements (Dolon, Mostik, Bodene, Cheremushki, Kanonerka) are located near the central axis of radioactive fallout trace from the most contaminating surface nuclear test, which was conducted in 29, August 1949. The other settlements located close to radioactive fallout trace result in a surface nuclear tests in 24, August 1956 (Ust-Kamenogorsk, Znamenka, Shemonaikha, Glubokoe, Tavriya, Gagarino), in 12 august 1953 (Sarzhal) and in 7, August 1962 (Akzhar, Kurchatov, Begen, Semenovka, Buras, Grachi). Tooth samples were extracted according to medical recommendations in a course of ordinary dental treatment.

A tooth enamel electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry study was carried out with the purpose of obtaining the individual absorbed radiation doses of population from settlements in the Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan, which was exposed to radioactive fallout traces from nuclear explosions in the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site and Lop Nor test base, China. Most of the settlements are located near the central axis of radioactive fallout trace from the most contaminating surface nuclear test, which was conducted on 29 August 1949, with the maximum detected excess dose being 430 ± 93 mGy. A maximum dose of 268 ± 79 mGy was determined from the settlements located close to radioactive fallout trace resulting from surface nuclear tests on 24 August 1956 (Ust-Kamenogorsk, Znamenka, Shemonaikha, Glubokoe, Tavriya and Gagarino). An accidental dose of 56 ± 42 mGy was found in Kurchatov city residents located close to fallout trace after the nuclear test on 7 August 1962. This method was applied to human tooth enamel to obtain individual absorbed doses of residents of the Makanchi, Urdzhar and Taskesken settlements located near the Kazakhstan–Chinese border due to the influence of nuclear tests (1964–1981) at Lop Nor. The highest dose was 123 ± 32 mGy.
