PRESS RELEASE BY MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF UKRAINE ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE CHORNOBYL CATASTROPHE (7 years after the Chornobyl accident) The biggest radio-ecological catastrophe of mo dern time — the accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant — has led to radioactive contamination of vast territories in Ukraine and serious medical conse quences. The scope of this catastrophe considerably exce eds the initial prognoses and assessments. In addition to land territories, water reservoirs of the Dnieper river basin are contaminated. Along the western plume of radioactive releases, the population is continually expo sed to highest doses on account of internal irradiation. Recognition of the Chornobyl accident as a national catastrophe has been reflected in Ukraine’s law “On status and social protection of citizens suffering as a result of the Chornobyl catastrophe.” As a result of this law, with the purpose of enforcing the State Sanitarian Inspection in the field of radiation hygiene, 97 radiological subdivisions of sanitarian and epidemiological service have been organized, in addition to 27 existing ones. Today, all 124 radiological de partments of sanitarian and epidemiological stations (SES) are fully equipped with staff and modern, highly sensitive equipment for radiation control. They are capable of conducting arbitrarian complex dosimetric, radiometric, spectrometic investigations of samples from environmental objects and foodstuffs. Dosimetric points are functioning at 581 rayon SES “clean” areas. Within the framework of radiation control, 9000 samples of drinking water from different water sources were tested, 162,000 samples of raw food material and foodstuffs were investigated. On the basis of the results of investigation of 60,000 milk samples and 80,000 samples of local potato production, a collection of documents of dosimetric passportization has been prepared. It includes data on the problem of radiation and calculated annual doses (both internal and external irradiation) of the population in about-6,000 towns and villages of Ukraine (1993). Among those suffering and requiring priority medical measures, four categories of citizens can be distinguished: Category I: 190 persons having suffered from acute radiation syndrome, and 15,000 persons having lost working capability as a result of diseases connected with the Chornobyl Catastrophe. This group could be extended since an additional 35,000 adults and about 1,500 children had been diagnosed (as of March 1, 1993) with causal connection of diseases as a result of Mario Kekish, a UNWLA scholarship fund recipient. 18 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИСТОПАД 1993 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
