Abstract
Resident population in territories contaminated by long-lived radionuclides receive most of the radiation dose by internal irradiation. Under these circumstances, the main radiation protection measure is minimization of radionuclide transfer into organisms through food and water. First, this can be achieved by food processing, using special technologies reducing the content of radionuclides in food; second, substances accelerating excretion of radionuclides from the organism and stimulation of recovery processes can be exploited.
