[The possibilities of using biological dosimetry methods for the retrospective assessment of dosages in relation to the sequelae of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station. An assessment of the dosages based on an analysis of unstable chromosome aberrations].

The problem of retrospective dose assessment in connection with the Chernobyl accident is discussed. Existing methods of dose quantification based on the analysis of unstable aberrations in blood lymphocytes are discussed in details. Starting from the own data it is concluded that unstable aberration technique could not be applied to verify individual doses for ameliorators as well as for inhabitants of contaminated areas.
