Abstract

The approach based on the use of only average parameters of radiation injuries is insufficient to plan activities on delivery of care and safety of life during elimination of consequences of radiation accidents. Therefore, a quantitative analysis of risks, in particular risk control, become an important aspect of decision making and requires knowledge of the distributions of quantitative exposure measures of adverse factors. In this paper, one of prediction versions for such distributions is considered.
