Abstract
The results of studying beta-emitting aerial hot particles (HP) deposi ted in lung tissues in the vicinity of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant a re presented. High-sensitivity thick-layer nuclear emulsions were used to obtain autoradiograms formed by beta-tracks. The algorithms and co des for processing autordiographic pictures and calculating dose distr ibution in emulsion and tissue have been designed. The HP sizes, activ ities, and dose distributions are discussed.
