Abstract
The paper presents the results of retrospective dose estimations for a numb er of Chernobyl victims by different approaches to the analysis of dicentri c distributions in peripheral lymphocytes in blood samples taken a long rim e after the accident. Retrospective dose estimations are compared with dose estimates in the same individuals made immediately after the accident by d icentric frequencies. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
