1 Relevance of the Chernobyl Research for the Evaluation of Genetic Radiation Risks in Humans Saint Petersburg 2015 Inge Schmitz-Feuerhake and Sebastian Pflugbeil German Society for Radiation Protection

2 Hermann Joseph Muller (1980-1967) U. S
Hermann Joseph Muller ( ) U.S. american biologist, geneticist 1927 detected mutagenesis of X-rays 1936 regarded cancer as caused by „somatic“ mutation 1946 Nobel prize in medicine 1955 Geneva Conference „Atoms for Peace“ excluded his presentation

3 Present ICRP 1990 Heritable effects
ICRP Recommendations Detriment adjusted nominal risk coefficient for heritable effects in an exposed population Present ICRP 1990 Heritable effects 0.2 % per Sv 1.3 % per Sv Present: 1 mSv induces 2 hereditary disorders in 1 million people

By fallout from A-bomb tests in Nevada By fallout from the Chernobyl accident In the proximity of nuclear facilities in Europe

20 Conclusions There is evidence from human collectives that low level radiation induces severe hereditary disorders. This must become again a main matter of concern for radiation protection of workers and from medical exposures.
