A preliminary assessment of potential doses to man from radioactive waste dumped in the Arctic sea
This report describes a preliminary radiological assessment of collective doses to the world population from radioactive material dumped in the Barents and Kara Seas in the period 1961-1991 Information on the dumped waste and the rates of release of radionuclides have been available from Russian sou...
