Abstract

National Research and Educational Collaboration for Radioecology (NRECR), successfully acting in Georgia as independent expert institution since 1998, initiated studying of the radioecological condition in regions of Georgia and assessment of the risk for population from ionizing radiation. Analysis of results were obtained during 2001–2002 show soil polluted by anthropogenic radionuclides, committed annual individual effective dose due to external exposure for population come to 0.15–0.35 mSv; 137Cs levels in agricultural products sometimes exceeds the recommended values.
