Abstract
The results of the studies of hot particles produced as a consequence of fuel release in the Chernobyl accident are given. Some biological t issues and samples of soil obtained from the soil surface at a distanc e of 600 m from the fourth block of the Chernobyl NPP in the summer of 1990 have been studied. Alpha and beta autoradiographic measurements using solid state track detectors were made without any special select ion of hot particles. The surface activity of soil and the alpha and b eta activity of hot particles, as well as their surface activity, were measured. Also the dimensions of hot particles were estimated.
