Les conséquences post-accidentelles à court terme : dépôts radioactifs et contamination de la chaîne alimentaire. [...] Ainsi, l'importance du dépôt [...] dépend aussi du relief et du lieu où ont eu lieu ces précipitations pendant les rejets. [...] Dès que le dépôt s'est formé, les résidents ont un risque d'exposition par ingestion de denrées issues de cultures locales et par exposition externe au rayonnement émis par le dépôt. Il existe enfin un risque d'ingestion involontaire de particules radioactives non fixées sur les surfaces (dépôt labile) [...] 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20radioactif
