[Method for determination of radiation effects in cosmonauts by board dosimeter readings made during orbital mission]

A technique for calculating the SS MIR absorbed doses from the galactic cosmic rays, protons of the Earth's radiation belts and solar flares is described. Calculated daily doses for different compartments along the MIR main axis are compared with doses calculated for the location of board radiometer R-16 in various periods of solar activity. Maximal doses in MIR compartments (in the absence of phantom) were compared with the doses in referential depths of a spherical phantom representing the blood forming tissue, skin, enteric epithelium, and the absorbed dose in the dosimeter location. This comparison allows more precise estimation of radiation hazard to cosmonauts in space flight.
