OUTCOME OF NATO WORKSHOP ON RADIOLOGICAL RISK IN CENTRAL ASIA

摘要

A North Atlantic Treaty Organization Advanced Research Workshop (NATO-ARW), "Radiation Safety Problems in the Caspian Region", was held in Baku, Azerbaijan in September 11-14, 2003. The objectives of this workshop were the exchange of information in the field of radiation safety and radioecology. Fifty-eight participants from twelve countries investigated hazards to regional populations from ionizing radiation. A major topic was the discussion of the investigations carried out in the Caspian Region. The main source of radioactivity in the Caspian Sea is due to global fallout, subsequent river run-off from catchments areas and the long-term oil-gas extraction.
