Chernobyl disaster

Soviet medical teams

1987
Chernobyl, Ukraine, U.S.S.R

In 1987, Soviet medical teams conducted some 16,000 whole-body count examinations on inhabitants in otherwise comparatively lightly contaminated regions with good prospects for recovery. This was to determine the effect of banning local food and using only food imports on the internal body burden of radionuclides in inhabitants.
