Comparative Study[Development of opportunistic microorganisms in the area of disposal of heated waters from atomic power stations].
Long-term studies conducted on cooling water reservoirs of the Kursk, Kalinin, and Smolensk atomic power stations have indicated that disposal of heated waters causes a considerable increase in the water count of opportunistic microorganisms. Possible factors that promote the increased number of these bacteria. The paper shows it necessary to perform microbiological studies of not only water lands of cooling water reservoirs, but of the inner surface of technical units of the water supply systems of an atomic power stations where favourable conditions may be created for the opportunistic and pathogenic microflora to develop.

[Medical and demographic assessment of human health under conditions of radiation and toxic exposures].
Medical and demographic assessments of the impact of a complex of man-made and radiation exposures on the population of the Altai territory revealed that the use of retrospective diagnosis of radiation exposures of Semipalatinsk ground testing and the account of additional exposures to combined effects of dioxines, heavy metals, rocket fluel components (heptyl, etc.), which are observed in specially identified former administrative areas of this territory in causing specific changes in the health status of neonates, pregnant females, and able bodied individuals are of priority in sociosanitary monitoring of sanitary and epidemiological service.
