An assessment has been undertaken of potential doses to future aboriginal inhabitants of the Maralinga and Emu areas of South Australia, where nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s and 1960s have resulted in residual radioactive contamination. Radioactive material due to this program of tests and other experiments is still detectable several tens of kilometers from some of the test sites. Continued occupancy by individuals following an Aboriginal lifestyle could give rise to annual effective dose equivalents of several mSv within contours enclosing areas of several hundred square kilometers. The most significant dose pathways are calculated to be the inhalation of resuspended activity and ingestion of soil by infants. An analysis of the effects of uncertainties in the dose calculation has indicated the uncertainty distribution on predicted doses from the inhalation pathway.
对南澳大利亚马拉林加和伊穆地区未来原住民可能受到的剂量进行了评估，20世纪50年代和60年代在该地区进行的核武器试验导致了残留放射性污染。由于这一系列试验和其他实验产生的放射性物质，在距离一些试验场数十公里处仍可检测到。遵循原住民生活方式的个人持续居住在该地区，可能会在数百平方公里范围内导致每年有效剂量当量达到数毫希沃特。计算得出，最重要的剂量途径是吸入再悬浮的放射性物质以及婴儿摄入土壤。对剂量计算中不确定性影响的分析表明了吸入途径预测剂量的不确定性分布。
